X5 version 13 does not remember your selection of the module pull-down list and always reverts to Main page contents upon opening an X5 project. Is this a setting or a design change as ver 12 worked as expected?

Hello Gabriel,
Can you please explain me the issue you experience?
Which module do you refer?
Many thanks!

In step 5, on the right hand side there is a pulldown which has menu items like: main page contents, all categories, main header, animation, button, etc. In v.12 this selection would stay on whatever you used last. v.13 always reverts to Main page content upon starting X5.
Hello Gabriel,
I tested it on Version 12 and when you start the program it shows all the time the main objects like in Version 12. It keeps the selection only when you are working on the project but once you restart the program it starts always from the default category.
Many thanks!

I have 12.0.9.30 and it opens to All Categories, which is the setting that I want. It does not open to Main Objects. Perhaps it is saved only when you perform a particular action, but mine definately starts on All Categories. Should I make a video of this?
Hello Gabriel,
Could you please test it in the new update of Version 12 to see if also so it happens the same?
Many thanks!

Claudio, I really don't use 12 anymore since I have migrated everything to 13 already. But, for testing purposes, I updated to 12.0.10.32 and the feature works the way I expected it to.
It does not work in 13.0.2.19, it always goes back to "main page contents" regardless of where you leave it. Maybe this is by design, maybe it is an oversight. I just think it is a nice thing to have and it is definately the way it works in 12.
Hello Gabriel,
I just tested it again in version 12 and every time you open a project it shows the main content category and not the ladt one used before closing the program.
I can suggest it as improvement for Version 13 to have tihs functionality.
Many thanks!

Mine definately opens with "All Categories" which is the category that I want selected. Would you like me to make a video of the screen?
Hello Gabriel,
Yes it would be useful. You can use the function on http://www.wetransfer.com to generate a link to upload the video and then write me here the link so I can download it.
Many thanks!
