claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix Option to disable auto-opening of Preview panel when switching sessions [1 participants]

TL;DR

To prevent the Preview panel from automatically reopening when switching sessions, consider adding a configuration option to control its auto-restore behavior.

Guidance

• Investigate the feasibility of introducing a previewPanelAutoRestore configuration option, as proposed, to provide users with control over the Preview panel's behavior.
• Verify that the issue is indeed caused by the preview state being keyed by directory rather than by session, to ensure the proposed solution addresses the root cause.
• If implementing the proposed solution, ensure that the default behavior remains unchanged for users who prefer the auto-restore functionality.
• Consider testing the solution with different working directory paths to confirm its effectiveness.

Example

No code snippet is provided, as the issue does not contain sufficient technical details to create a minimal example.

Notes

The proposed solution assumes that the issue is caused by the preview state being tied to the working directory rather than the session. However, without further technical investigation, it is uncertain whether this is the sole cause of the problem.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Introduce a previewPanelAutoRestore configuration option to provide users with control over the Preview panel's behavior, as this approach allows for a flexible solution that caters to different user preferences.
