I'm starting with TiddlyWiki, and I found that although I choose a tab in the control panel to be the one that shows at the beginning (Default sidebar tab) always open the one that was open at the time of recording, I guess I got something wrong configured, but that happens with the template empty.html downloading even without changing anything. Tk, beautiful day

Hi Gerardo,

This default setting is a bit confusing, since it only defines a default, if no tab-state tiddler exists.
This state tiddler is automatically created, as soon as you select a tab. Then the state is saved between sessions.

So at the moment it's not possible to reset the sidebar tab state, out of the box.

Can you tell us, why you want to reset the sidebar tab on reload?

----

There is a setting, that should allow us to exclude certain tiddlers from being saved. eg: sidebar state, ... but ...

I did have a closer look at the core code and found some inconsistencies. I'll file an issue about this at github.

Thanks Mario
I did not have any need to use that, I just saw that in the ControlPanel>Configuration was that option, it only seems practical for end users, so for example always when opening see the table of contents, although I saw that there is option to include Is in a tiddler =), there I discover wonderful things, thank you very much for your response, nice day
