I recently updated to Mojave, usually I use multiple tabs finder windows, after I close the windows it used to reopen to the last state (with all the tabs) when I open finder app on the dock. This was working in High Sierra. Is this a bug in Mojave or I have just overlooked a setting?
Thanks in advance.
MacBook Pro TouchBar and Touch ID, macOS Mojave (10.14)
I agree with all on this thread who've stated High Sierra behaves in this manner:
4a. Finder opens a new window containing three tabs.
I, further, agree with all on this thread who've stated that the behavior of #4, above, is different in Mojave, e.g.:
4b. Finder opens a new window containing only on tab.
I've found a solution that appears, at first blush, to work for me in Mojave.
It comes to us courtesy of the user Eagle on apple.stackexchange.com:
https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/100433/finder-reopen-last-closed-window/100435
Eagle states:
This appears to work for me when I perform my original workflow, above, items 1-4a.
Note that it also appears to reopen the tabs to their prior directory/drive locations, if present.
I had not tested that behavior in High Sierra; so I can't speak to that whether it's consistent or not.
Further note that if a tab showed contents of a directory/drive that has been removed/unmounted between Finder sessions.
Finder simply does not open that tab; but opens all other previous tabs that it is able.
I've not tested how this System Preferences->General change effects, or afflicts, other applications from session to session.
So, as you'd surmise...YMMV.
Hope this helps.
Cheers!
Well, you can let Apple know they are doing it wrong. Feedback - macOS - Apple
Are you having a second account called Luisitu? Re: Mojave Finder Tabs Reopen
Why bother providing a "code" block function in the comments Apple if you won't let it be used! Morons...
Please see attached for the AppleScript I mentioned above:
dialabrain, My reality tells a different tale, sir.
When I hold the command key and press the 'Q' key, Finder terminates.
FWIW, the "Quit" command is disabled by default. It can be enabled using the Terminal or a utility such as Onyx. For the vast majority, your reality isn't others reality.
No there isn't. Of course you could just leave the Finder windows open or minimize/hide them into the Dock.

That's not a solution, finder will be reseted after you shutdown/reset the computer.
Really? Did you try it? I did.
Not exactly but close enough. I think Mojave behaves as it should.
Yep. that's the way i remember it. Shame that mojave changed it.
Nice, thanks a lot for this tip, a little bit complex comparing to the previous version of Mac OSX, but still a solution for me to keep all my tabs reopening when Mac restarts!
I find it sad that this is the "apple recommended" answer. There is no solution. I mean...This feature was super helpful...why take it out?
So if I don't quit finder when I shut down the computer it will remember the open tabs?
Perhaps you missed the original question…

Sorry you can't seem to understand the original question or the replies. Have a good day.
I concur, I used this feature a lot before the update. Atm I just work without it but it would be nice to have back.
