Description

⚠️ This issue respects the following points: ⚠️
  • This is a bug. Not a question or feature request.
  • The topic is not already reported at Issues. (I've searched it).
  • Markor is up to date. See Releases for the latest version. Updates are available from F-Droid and GitHub.
  • The bug is still present in the latest development version (git master). (Please download and try the test version of Markor, named Marder. Don't worry; Markor and Marder appear as completely separate applications. You can install both side-by-side, and Markor settings are not touched. In case the issue is resolved there, you don't need to create a bug report. The change will be part of the next Markor update.)
Description

Usually when you're opening some file in some editor → Hide this editor via Home/"circle" navbar button and then launch editor via it's icon on launcher, editor opens up where it was before hiding.

Markor always opens Files tab which is very annoying 'cause you have to:

  1. Either go to file in Files tab again;
  2. Or use Recent Apps/"square" navbar button. In cases when some other apps have been opened while Markor was hidden you have to find it's card there.

Should note that Markor ignores the App start tab setting too, i.e. it'll start in Files even if QuickNote has been set there.

The problem occurs even if Multiple windows is disabled (when enabled, such behavior is pretty logical)

Steps to reproduce
  1. Disable Multiple windows mode;
  2. From Files tab open some file for editing;
  3. Hide Editor via Home/"circle" navbar button;
  4. Run Markor via launcher - NOK: instead of file from step 3 Markor starts on Files tab

Research direction

Reproduce the issue using the listed steps with Multiple windows disabled, then inspect the launcher-start and editor-resume flow along with the App start tab setting. Done means relaunching Markor from its icon restores the previously open editor instead of opening Files, while preserving the configured start-tab behavior.
