What issue are you seeing?

Right now, it’s hard to find old chat history within a workspace. I’m using multiple workspaces and chats, and it gets confusing when trying to locate older conversations. It would be really helpful to have an option that lists chats by the current project folder.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

NA

What is the expected behavior?

TL;DR

Implement a feature or setting to sort or filter chats by project folder to improve chat history navigation.

Guidance

  • Consider organizing chats into separate folders or categories based on projects to simplify navigation.
  • Look into existing settings or plugins for the Codex CLI that may offer chat filtering or sorting capabilities.
  • If available, utilize a search function to find specific conversations within a workspace.
  • Reach out to the Codex CLI support team to request a feature enhancement for sorting chats by project folder.

Notes

The current version of Codex CLI (0.122.0-alpha.13) may not have the desired feature, and the issue lacks information on existing settings or plugins that could help mitigate the problem.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Utilize existing search functions or manual chat organization methods until a feature enhancement is available, as there is no clear indication of a fixed version that addresses this issue.
