Save path of interpreters on SSH connections as you do for local session

[mbaas2]

Describe the issue you are having

Whenever I open a session that uses SSH connections, I have to re-select the interpreter.
This is (thankfully!) not neccessary on local connections. Granted, SSH is not local, but in most cases I have observed, the interpreter was still there when I connected - so this clearly is unnecessary friction.

Did you mean Ride->About ? I ask because that's where the About text is when I've started Ride but not yet connected to a remote interpreter (I assume you haven't because the Interpreter details are empty).

I'm not sure what's going on .. I make fairly heavy use of Ride to connect to non-Windows interpreters in "Start an interpreter via SSH" mode and it always remembers the last interpreter I used on any remote server, even if it's not the default connection, and even after I have gone to a different server to run Dyalog on. I am using the same version of Ride as you.

Can you email me your equivalent of "C:\Users\andys\AppData\Roaming\Ride-4.6\connections.json" please ..

Michael confirms that he is starting a remote interpreter via ssh, not connecting to a remote interpreter via ssh.
