Restore last selected crate/playlist on restart?

[Milkii Brewster]

It would be nice if, on restart of Mixxx, if the previously opened playlist/crate were to again be the actively opened playlist/crate.

I wonder if this could be generalized as "control objects should optionally store their state on exit, and load that state on startup" as a way of persisting UI state between sessions. I suspect this is a Hard Problem but it would be nice to have a generic solution to this kind of issue.

This is a tricky to solve. IIRC some controls are not saved because they're not necessarily visible/obvious in the GUI and may create issues when they're not in the default start after startup, like decks' crossfader orientation for example, or quantize, or master Fx routing.

That can be done as a config option.
