Description

When restarting MacDown it would be nice if it could re-open all the previously opened documents.

Perhaps this could be a preference checkbox below "Ensure open document on Launch", something like "Remember previously opened documents".

Add the proposed preference so users can opt to reopen all previously open documents, then verify that the setting persists and restoration works after restarting MacDown.
