Feature request: Open Last Library option
I have several file folders, but I work with one of them 99% of the time, and would much prefer to have that one open directly when clicking on the app after having closed the folder list window. Could there be an optional toggle to "open most recent folder" rather than the folder list?

We can consider this in a future version. Thank you.

+1 for this request.
My scenario is that I sometimes mistakenly close the nvUltra window because I lose track of what app has focus and I hit Cmd-W intending to close a browser window, but close the nvUltra window instead. Would be nice to be able to re-open from the keyboard.

I'd love it if this feature remembered whatever multiple windows/tabs combination was used in the previous session. I typically have open 5 to 10 folders open during a typical day, and I merge them into one window.
Perhaps this is a good place to stick a potentially related request: Open a recently closed folder / set of folders (thinking similar to Chrome browser's History menu items). It seems like if you remember past window sets you're probably half way to with this type of view/action menu item?

Just to be clear -- Unless you disable it in macOS system preferences, macOS applications remember documents that were open when the application was quit, and will reopen those documents when you relaunch the app. nvUltra supports this already.
Also, if you only use one folder, it is opened automatically when you launch the app. You can delete random "one-off" folders from the Navigator window if you don't want to use them anymore and return to a single folder setup to reenable this behavior.
As for reopening recently used folders, I would point you to the File->Recent documents submenu. If there is a single folder you want to repeatedly open with a shortcut, then you can use macOS keyboard=>Shortcuts in system preferences to create a shortcut for the folder name in question. I don't believe you can create a shortcut this way for "the top" document (i.e. the most recently used one). But presumably you could do this easily using Automator (or the latest incarnation of that functionality in latest/upcoming versions of macOS.)
We'll consider adding other features, but I don't anticipate that we will completely reinvent behavior that is already built into the OS itself.

This is perfect. I did not realize I had this preference disabled in MacOS. Thanks Fletcher.
