Remember left panel state

mark
I often work with the left panel (collections/tags) closed.

But any time I restart Zotero it's open again. Is there a way to make it remember my preference?

    I believe its reappearance after restart was introduced because too many people hid it by accident and were then alarmed.
    Given how quick this is ro hide again, I doubt this is worth adding a pref for.

    Yes, that's the reason. Automatic reopening was briefly disabled when we added the View menu with pane toggles, but we restored it because people were still closing them by accident.

    I did mention the possibility of adding a preference there (and I guess "no one has complained in years" is no longer the case). I don't know that this merits a visible pref, but I can add a hidden pref for it. Issue created.

    Would be very happy with a hidden pref, thanks!

    I've added an extensions.zotero.reopenPanesOnRestart hidden pref, default to true, in the latest Zotero beta. It will be included in 5.0.78.

    Very happy with this, thank you. Solves a little papercut I see everyday.
