The File handling » Session options branch of Settings has the following options.

Save state

Save state refers to the ability to close the UltraEdit / UEStudio with unsaved changes and then have those unsaved changes reloaded the next time the application starts. For example, if you're in the middle of making changes to several files as part of a larger project, and your operating system suddenly prompts you to reboot to install an update, it can be stressful deciding whether or not to save your unsave changes. With save state, you don't have to decide. UltraEdit / UEStudio simply remembers your unsaved changes when you close it down, then restores them the next time you start it. This behavior is controlled by the options in this section of settings.

Reload files previously open on startup

If this option is checked the editor saves path information for the open files when the editor is closed. This information is used to automatically reload the files that were open the next time the editor is started. This allows easy reloading of a set of files that are edited on a regular basis. If the editor is invoked automatically for printing the files are not reopened. Also see the Open from Explorer also opens files list setting below. This option must be checked in order to enable save state.

Remember and reload unsaved changes to saved files

If this option is checked, and you close the editor with unsaved changes in previously saved files, no prompt will be shown and those files will be reloaded in the same state (changes unsaved) the next time the application is launched. If this option is not checked, you'll be prompted to save changes prior to closing the application. This option is disabled if the option Reload files previously open on startup is not checked.

Remember and reload unsaved changes to unsaved "Edit" files

If this option is checked, and you close the editor with unsaved changes in unnamed and unsaved "Edit" files, no prompt will be shown and those files will be reloaded in the same state (changes unsaved) the next time the editor is launched. If this option is not checked, you'll be prompted to save changes prior to closing the application unless the option When closing application prompt to save unsaved "Edit" files (below) is not checked. This option is disabled if the option Reload files previously open on startup is not checked.

Reload FTP files when reloading a project or last open files

If this option is checked, the editor will reload FTP files when it reloads files for a project/workspace. This works similarly to the Reload files previously open on startup option above, but for FTP files. This option must be checked in order to enable save state for FTP files.

Remember and reload unsaved changes to FTP files

If this option is checked, and you close the editor with unsaved changes in previously saved FTP files, no prompt will be shown and those files will be reloaded in the same state with unsaved changes the next time the editor is launched. If this option is not chcked, you'll be prompted to save changes prior to closing the application. This option is disabled if the option Reload FTP files when reloading a project or last open files is not checked.

Open from Explorer also opens files list

Normally when a file is opened in UltraEdit / UEStudio via the context menu option in Windows Explorer, only that selected file is loaded. With this option set, the previously open files are loaded on startup along with the file selected in Explorer. This setting is automatically enabled if save state is enabled via the options above.

Discard unsaved "Edit" files with no prompt on application close

If this option is checked, no prompt to save changes will be shown when closing the application with unsaved changes in "Edit" files, and any text in those files is discarded. If unchecked, you'll be prompted to save changes before the application is closed. This option is disabled if the option Remember and reload unsaved changes to unsaved "Edit" files is checked.
