Feature Request: Associate Chat History with Project Folders for Automatic Context Retrieval #5933
Description
What feature would you like to see?
I often work on multiple projects, sometimes returning to one after a few days or weeks. When I reopen an old project folder, I need to find the specific chat history related to that project to get back up to speed.
The current process requires me to manually search through my entire global chat history to find the relevant conversation. As the number of chats grows, this becomes increasingly time-consuming and inefficient. It breaks the workflow by forcing a "hunt for context" every time I switch projects.
I propose a feature that links chat sessions to specific project folders.
The ideal workflow would be:
When I'm working in a project folder (e.g., /Users/me/projects/my-cool-app), the chat conversation is automatically associated with that folder.
When I close the project and return to it later, opening that same folder should automatically bring up the chat history associated with it.
This would essentially create a persistent, project-specific "memory" for the chat, making it incredibly fast to pick up exactly where I left off. The chat panel would feel like a native part of that project's environment.
This feature would dramatically improve the user experience for anyone who juggles multiple projects. It would transform the chat from a simple chronological log into a powerful, context-aware tool that's deeply integrated into the development workflow.
Thank you for your time and for considering this suggestion!

a huge thank you to the team for implementing the automatic session continuation feature. It's a fantastic quality-of-life improvement and has made working on long tasks so much more convenient!
