Basic operation: Selecting a WORKSPACE

I have several different sets of software I work on.
The sets are disjoint; I do not need to see 'wine' stuff when working on 'CodeBlocks' and visa-versa.

I want to put the various sets in separate workspaces.
In order to make this work, I need to be able to change to different workspaces.
I have not found the way to do this.

I did find the 'close workspace' tag in the Workspace drop-down, but it appears to do nothing.
The workspace remains open.
I half-expected that it would bring up a list of workspaces that I could switch to, but that does not happen.

So, how can I switch to a different workspace?  ???

How to setup a workspace:
1. Open all projects you want to be included.
2. Save workspace
3. Now close workspace will work, because you not using the default.workspace any more.

To open a workspace just go to File -> Open -> select the proper filter -> browse to the .workspace file -> Open

Simple, but not that intuitive, unfortunately.

Ah! :)
Not quite obvious, but close enough.
Thank you.

FYI:

A related thing I just figured out, recently

The (recent projects) history is from doing save/save-as workspace or project.

If you do a clear history and then save/save-as workspace the other items in the history will be gone.

Save all projects does NOT go into the history list (I like this).
