I try it again every few versions and would really like to try Atom for longer but it really bothers me that I can't really configure hot exit the way I want it to work. It seems like I'm a minority in that I don't want Atom to open the whole folder in the tree view when I open a file. What annoys me even more is that I want hot exit completely disabled, so that when I open Atom, no previous files/tabs or folders are open. I could never get this to work. The previously opened folder will always be present in the tree view when I open Atom again and when I open a file it will always open the folder in the tree view. Does someone know if there is a workaround to this?
