Working on a map is mostly not done in one day. So one edit's a map, saves it, and the other day he/she wants to work on the map again. Currently a map is always opened with position 0,0 at the upper left corner of the screen, and one has to scroll the map to the position of the last edit.

Describe the solution you'd like
When opening a map in the editor the position of the last seen area of the map should be centered on the screen. This can be time based, say if the map was last saved more than 7 days ago, show 0,0 at top left corner of the screen, otherwise center the position of the last edit.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Add something like a revision tool: Store the date/time and position of the last 7 saves and provide a window showing those revisions. A click on a revision moves the map to the saved position on the screen.

This is contrary to #1694 (didn't found this issue on CB)

This should not be time-based. Like the InteractivePlayerPacket for singleplayer savegames, we can just add an EditorInteractivePacket that stores the map view, landmarks, open windows and so on and loads them in the editor only.

P.S. Like most of the issues that were imported from Launchpad, the linked issue has the same number on GH and CB: #1694

Oh yeah... if the history tool can survive a reload this would be great!
