[Kate] [solved] How do I make sessions save the chosen folder? (lemy.lol)

There's something I don't understand here: why when I do "Open Folder" and then save the session, closing it and opening it again I'm left with nothing?
Instead, if I open some files in subdirectories, the next time I reopen the session I'm just presented with the parent folders of those files, but I really needed to have the topmost directory to be able to access the whole tree structure whenever I reopen the session.

Is it possible? Or do I have to make a project?

You have a point, I should try again to get it to work first.

And, to be honest, I'm not even sure, if Kate itself has a concept of a directory

Is it possible that it doesn't? When I do "Open Folder" it does exactly that: open the folder and allow me to access all subdirectories and files within it, I feel like there is extra logic implemented to ignore directories as elements to remember and only count the files, but I don't know tbh, I'll be asking and see what they say

Hmm, yeah, interesting. Especially that it opens the directory in the Projects view rather than the file system browser plugin view (even if there is no .kateproject or .git/ in the directory).

I just had a bit of a play with it and, contrary to my expectation, it actually seems like the directory for the File System Browser plugin is remembered per session. That feels like it would actually be exactly what you're looking for...? 🙃

Tried now, you're right! But then it navigates to the file I opened rather than keeping the view starting from that directory I chose:

I have to close the file and climb up the tree to get what I want the next time I open it T-T

Hmm, is this option checked?

You'll want to uncheck that...
