I wish the IDE would remember user's choice

If the user selects the order of module tabs in the IDE, it forgets the choice the next time it opens the project.

Likewise it forgets where the user has placed bookmarks and breakpoints.

I'd like it to remember all of these.

It would also be nice if it could remember the state of outlining expansion/contraction each Region and Sub, but maybe that's asking too much!

Outlining

I second the request to for the IDE to remember the outlining. This is so important when project is large with many routines. I also Collapse All and then go and open "as required"... but can be tedious.

Even going back to the routine that was OPEN when you closed the IDE would be GREAT

I just realised (as is clearly stated in the Version 3.80 release note) that ALL of our wishes HAVE BEEN GRANTED !
Now bookmarks, breaks, outlining and tab order are all saved (in the meta file).

Note that Main is always the module in the first tab, and that the above parameters are not saved if they are the only changes made to a project unless you explicitly save the project before closing it.

Thank you Erel!

All this information is now saved in the .meta file. If you are using a source control system then you should make sure not to include the meta file. Note that the project will be loaded correctly without the meta file.
