如何跨会话保存或查看Robo 3T的查询历史？

Hey there! Great to hear you're enjoying Robo 3T—it's such a reliable tool for MongoDB work, no doubt. Losing query history after an unexpected close is super frustrating, but there are a few solid ways to fix this and keep your history intact across sessions.

Robo 3T actually has native support for saving query history, but sometimes it might be disabled or misconfigured without you noticing. Here's how to check and set it up:

• Open Robo 3T, then click Edit in the top menu bar and select Preferences
• In the pop-up window, switch to the Query History tab
• Make sure the "Save query history" checkbox is ticked
• You can also adjust the maximum number of history entries here, and see the exact file path where your history is stored (usually something like ~/.3T/robo-3t/[your-version]/queryHistory—the version number will vary based on your install)

Once this is enabled, all your future queries will automatically save across sessions, even if Robo 3T closes unexpectedly.

If you want an extra layer of protection, you can take control of the history file itself:

• Locate the queryHistory file path from the preferences menu
• Regularly copy this file to a safe location (like a cloud storage folder or external drive) as a backup
• If your history ever goes missing, just replace the current queryHistory file with your backup, then restart Robo 3T

This is a great fallback if you've had issues with the built-in persistence failing after crashes.

For queries you use frequently or want to keep long-term, Robo 3T's snippet feature is even better than basic history:

• In the query editor, right-click your query and select Save as Snippet
• Give it a descriptive name and categorize it if you want—these snippets are stored permanently, separate from your session history
• You can access them anytime via the Snippets panel on the left side of the app

This method keeps your important queries organized and immune to any history-related glitches.

A quick note: If Robo 3T crashes hard (like from a power outage or force quit), the history file might get corrupted. If this happens, delete the damaged queryHistory file, restart Robo 3T (it'll generate a new one), then re-enable the save setting to get back on track.
