	This is very annoying bug I think. When I work on some Arduino project I have many documents opened and showed as tabs of course. However every time I save solution, exit and then load same solution - all tabs are gone except first one or the .ino one. Can you fix it please?? I use VS 2017 Professional under Windows 10 Pro

	Hi, This is a VS feature and I suspect some minor confusion in your workflow. 1) If you open an .ino file the same solution might be opened but that is different to actually opening a specific solution. 2) If you are using the VS file>open>project or file>recent to open .sln then tabs will be remembered. A common confusion is the "File>Open>Arduino Project". After you have opened an .ino for the first time you should not click to open the .ino in future. Instead click to open .sln. A quick way to force the solution in the file>recent list if not already there .... Try this. Open the solution as normal. Then click the solution name in the solution explorer. Then click "File>Save As". Click OK to overwrite? After you have done that the solution will be on file>recent

	No - I open from Studio - Open-> Arduino Project -> Browse + open then Save Project - saves .sln. Then Open Solution .sln - no tabs

	That menu item is really just to allow to open an arduino project for the first time. Please follow the guide above and use visual studio commands to open projects/solutions.

	I just installed your recent update. Wow - I don't know what you guys did but all works soooo much better. I noticed I can add multiple Arduino projects to one solution - awesome! Tabs work!! Anyway thanks

	Actually nothing changed on that front. It's possible your visual studio needed a full restart. Thanks for the update.
