[oXygen-user] A question concerning the occasional IMPERMANENCE of open tabs in Oxygen projects, when "reopening" those projects.

[Oxygen XML Editor Support (Adrian Buza)]

Hello,

What version of Oxygen are you using? Or are there multiple versions?

There is no limit for the number of opened tabs that are remembered (we 
call it "*project editing state*"). Only one project is open at any 
given time, the rest are just history. Even if they are lost from the 
project history their opened tabs are still remembered.

Yes, that is possible because of version changes.
Since v21.0 the mechanism for keeping the project editing state has 
changed, a distinct file is used for each version of Oxygen. When 
updating versions (from an old version to a newer version) the project 
editing state of the older version is imported in the newer one the 
first time you run the new one.
*If you go back to an old version (e.g. v21.0), you will not see any 
changes in project editing state made with the new version (e.g. 
v21.1).* Also, after the initial import (first time a new version is 
run), if you make changes with an older version (v21.0) in the project 
editing state, they will not be imported again when you start the newer 
version (v21.1).

Regards,
Adrian
