Verified issue does not already exist?

  • I have searched and found no existing issue

What happened?

When I quit the app, I expect it to restore the state I left it in when launching the next time. This is what apps on macOS normally do. However, Actual does not. This seems to be related to Electron, which doesn't have a built-in way to persist user settings and other data. However, there is a module on GitHub that should help fix this: https://github.com/sindresorhus/electron-store

How can we reproduce the issue?

Open the app. Select "All accounts." Quit the app and launch it again. It will not open to "All accounts," which is expected behavior (at least on macOS), but instead opens to the standard Budget view.

Where are you hosting Actual?

None

What browsers are you seeing the problem on?

No response

Operating System

Mac OSX

This isn't desktop app related and it's more of a feature request than a bug.

Can you re-raise this as a feature request? That way people can vote on it and we can gauge interest.
