| 10 | | What are the current alternatives?: |
| 11 | | ----------------------------------- |
| 12 | | 1. (the current situation) |
| 13 | | In preferences, the default opening folder is specified. |
| 14 | | In the top we have the UP("..") folder, which opens the parent on double-click. |
| 15 | | Below we have all the children. |
| 16 | | When double-clicking a folder among the children, that folder is set to root/base. |
| 17 | | When double-clicking a file among the children, that parent folder of that file |
| 18 | | is set to root/base. |
| 19 | | If behaviour in preferences, is set to open files = last, then the directory state |
| 20 | | as it were will be restored. |
| 21 | | If multi files are open, and tabs are shifted, the last known state of the active |
| 22 | | file will be shown. |
| 23 | | If multiple files are open in tabs, and all tabs are closed, which state will be |
| 24 | | shown in the end? = dunno yet, testing, haven't found the pattern. |
| 25 | | ..is this always the case, or is there data somewhere that specifies a directory |
| 26 | | is a project? and if a folder is not a project, then it will not set to root/base? |
