Code folding is not saved in Spyder 5.1.5

I use code folding in Spyder but after file saving, closing and opening the code is present but code folding is lost. However break points are saved. How to avoid loosing the code folding?

I use Spyder 5.1.5 with WinPython 3.9.5.0 and the programs are used without installation on Win10Pro version 21H1.

Edit

Now, 2 years after posting this question, we have Spyder 5.5.0, which is still not able to save code folding. Imagine 1000 lines of code with 20 parts hidden inside. After closing your file or closing Spyder, you lose your structure and have to hide each part again.

An implementation is so easy as one only have to store the line numbers that we click if we want to hide some text. After opening the file, Spyder opens also the file with line numbers (that can be saved together with the code or externally) and applies folding.

Solution

  • (Spyder maintainer here) Sorry but we don't have that functionality in Spyder, i.e. Spyder doesn't save folded regions in files before closing them.
