Can you add an option to not save terminals?

[ghost]

My shell is PowerShell. I have a habit of shutting down the computer from a terminal in ecode using stop-computer. I don’t have any folder open. The next time I launch ecode, it automatically recreates the terminal tab. I don’t want to sacrifice Session Snapshot and Periodic Backup to disable this.

Note: I find it annoying, but I can generally accept saving terminals in open folder. The issue here is when there is no folder open. However, if you also add an option to not save terminals even in open folder, that is also OK for me. IMO, saving terminals is absurd.

I think we can add sub-menu entries to Session Snapshot and Periodic Backup just like Auto-Close Brackets & Tags for further customizations.

As far as I know, Session Snapshot and Periodic Backup doesn't apply to folders. I don't use this feature so I don't know for sure.

I think I can probably just add an exception for that particular case: if a single split is open and the tabs open in that split are terminals, I can skip remembering those terminals. It makes sense at least for now (maybe in the future if terminal history is restored it won't be the same, but I don't particularly like restoring terminal sessions so that might never come). I'll take a look, it should be a small change.

It's useful for me, specially because I configure my splits in a certain way which is comfortable to reopen the terminal just like the previous session. For the moment I'll leave it the way it is. One hint / tip: status bar terminals are not remembered, you could always close it with alt + 3 + stop-computer.

It does apply to folders. Actually it does only apply to folders, the thing is that when you enable the session snapshot feature the concept of the Playground appears, which is an internal hidden folder for the "empty" session (I mean, the session it opens with ecode if no folder is loaded). So with session snapshots you always end up having a folder open, just that you don't know it.

OK. I will use status bar terminal for stop-computer.
