Handling of sketches in IDE 2.2.1

[jdeckerus]

I may be missing something here.
I open a sketch with ide 2.2.1.
I finish with the sketch and do not save it.
I can't get ide 2.2.1 to "forget" about the sketch, it is there when I restart ide 2.2.1.
In the submenu I found the delete entry, that deletes it and deletes it from disk and ends ide 2.2.1.
All I'm trying to do is to have the ide 2.2.1 stop displaying the sketch when I start it.
Sort of like telling it to forget about the sketch.

Hi @jdeckerus. Similar to many other modern applications, Arduino IDE opens the saved sketches you had open at the time you exited the previous IDE session. I'm not sure why it bothers you which sketch it opens, but if you don't want it to open this specific sketch, you can exit the IDE while some other sketch is open.

I'll provide an example of a procedure you can follow:

1. Start Arduino IDE.
2. Select File > New Sketch from the Arduino IDE menus.
   A new Arduino IDE window will open.
3. Close all other Arduino IDE windows.
4. Select File > Save As... from the Arduino IDE menus.
5. Save the sketch to any convenient location and name.
6. Select File > Quit from the Arduino IDE menus.
7. Start Arduino IDE.

The sketch you saved at step (4) of the instructions above should now open instead of whatever that other sketch was that offended you.
