Several years ago I used to run the Nautilus file manager. When I left Linux I was in discussion with the a couple of the developers and there seemed to be a lot of interest in having Nautilus save it’s state. For anyone not familiar with what this means; imagine that you have two or three Nautilus windows open at the same time, each with two or more tabs open and then your system crashes. Saving the ‘state’ means that it will open up the exact same way you left it.

Today I am running Caja. Does anyone know a way that this can be done. Or perhaps they have another file manager that can be recommended. Saving states, and perhaps sessions of a file manager is something I find very useful.

Thank you …

Dolphin has settings as to what to display on startup. Find the Startup settings and click on "Folders, tabs, and window state from last time"

spacefm also does this.

Thanks for the direction. I'll check those out.
