What's included

  • When starting a new local session in the desktop app's Code tab, the folder is preset to home or the last-used folder, so users click through or re-pick each time to begin in the project (or no project) they mean.
  • The native folder picker opens at the home folder instead of a chosen default or the last folder browsed, with projects on another drive or deep in synced folders.
  • Switching between projects in the sidebar, where a new session follows the last-used folder rather than the one currently selected.
  • Quick or unrelated questions, where a pre-filled folder or environment loads an unrelated project's instructions and permissions, or points at a deleted folder.

Not included

  • Resuming or continuing an existing session in its original folder.
  • Managing or deleting saved environments in the environment menu.
  • Changing a session's folder after it has already started.
