Auto-restore last opend file? #29

Closed frnknglrt closed 10 years ago

frnknglrt commented 10 years ago

Hello,

first of all: thanks for this nice piece of work.

i'm a big fan of closing software when it is not longer needed. Thus, after editing my todos, i usually close TodoTxt. However, when i reopen TodoTxtMac, the last file is not restored automatically and i could not figure out an easy way to achieve that.

Would it be possible to add an option for restoring the last opened file automatically on start?

Thanks and kind regards,

frnk

@frnknglrt Thanks for the feedback. Please take a look at the new FAQ section of http://mjdescy.github.io/TodoTxtMac/. A number of users have asked the same question, and I finally wrote up the answer and posted it to the web site (and the README.md file within the project).

For most users (anyone who has not customized some of the system preferences described in the FAQ), closing the app with one or more todo.txt files open will (1) save all those files, and (2) reopen all those files when the app is launched again.

In the future I may implement the feature as you describe, to force reopen the last opened file or a user-specified file, but I don't think it is necessary for most users.
