Filed from Hydrogen Desktop 1.0.666 on THREADSIPPER (Adom menu).

Yesterday I had two sessions going. Closed Hydrogen in order to reboot my computer. When I restarted Hydrogen this morning, I see no evidence of my sessions from yesterday. How do I restore these sessionsm so I can continue.

Okay here's the problem: I guess the folder I had open wasn't saved so when I reopened Hydrogen it just defaulted to the default workspace. I opened the folder that I had open yesterday. Both of my sessions were restored. Not sure if that's a bug where folders opened previously should be automatically reopened or if that's a setting that needs to be checked. I'm not sure.

Colby Knox · 11d ago

Glad you found them, and thanks for tracking it down. That is a bug on our side: Hydrogen always opens its default folder instead of the one you had open, and Claude keeps sessions per folder, so they looked gone. The next Hydrogen update reopens the last folder you used. Until then, File > Open Recent brings your folder and sessions back.

Glenn, the fix Colby mentioned is now public in Hydrogen 1.0.701: Hydrogen reopens the folder you had open last time, so your Claude sessions are right there after a restart. Recovery reloads keep your folder too, and a strip tells you when the editor is outside your project folder, with a button back. It reaches you through the normal update. Everything else in this release: What's new in 1.0.701. Closing; reply here if your folder ever does not come back.
