Hi Everyone The issue here is possibly that the wording in control panel for the “default sidebar tab” setting is misleading. The default is only used as a fallback if the current tab state hasn’t been explicitly set (eg by switching tabs and saving the wiki). The setting was introduced as a clean way for tw5.com <http://tw.com/> to have the “Contents” tab shown by default.
You can see how it is currently implemented here: https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/blob/master/core/ui/SideBarLists.tid#L44 <https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/blob/master/core/ui/SideBarLists.tid#L44> (Look for `default={{$:/config/DefaultSidebarTab}}` at the end of the marked line) So I think your request here is for a change in behaviour to make the control panel setting override any current setting. A useful way to achieve the change would be to introduce the proposed StartupOptions mechanism: https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/issues/1438 The core could then ship with a default startup option to set the initial sidebar tab.
