The /resume session picker now defaults to showing sessions from all projects instead of only the current directory.

Previously, /resume showed only sessions from the current directory by default — this behavior changed recently without a corresponding setting to control it.

Description

The /resume session picker now defaults to showing sessions from all projects instead of only the current directory.

Previously, /resume showed only sessions from the current directory by default — this behavior changed recently without a corresponding setting to control it.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Navigate to any project directory
  2. Run /resume
  3. Session picker shows all sessions across all projects (e.g., ~/bin, ~/MyDocs/ResearchDocs, ~/Temp, etc.)

Expected behavior

/resume should default to showing sessions from the current directory only, as it did before.

Current workaround

Press Ctrl+A to toggle back to current directory view each time.

Feature request

Add a setting to control the default filter for /resume (e.g., resume.defaultScope: "current-directory" | "all").

extent analysis

TL;DR

The most likely fix is to add a setting to control the default filter for /resume, allowing users to choose between showing sessions from the current directory or all projects.

Guidance

  • Investigate the code changes that introduced the new default behavior to understand the underlying logic and potential configuration options.
  • Consider adding a temporary workaround, such as a command-line flag or environment variable, to allow users to override the default behavior until a permanent setting is implemented.
  • Evaluate the feasibility of adding a resume.defaultScope setting, as suggested in the feature request, to provide a persistent solution.
  • Review the current implementation of the Ctrl+A toggle to ensure it is a reliable and efficient workaround for users.

Example

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

Notes

The solution may require changes to the underlying code or configuration, and the feasibility of adding a new setting depends on the existing architecture and technical constraints.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround, such as using the Ctrl+A toggle, until a permanent setting is implemented, as it provides a temporary solution for users to default to showing sessions from the current directory.
