      Disappeared workspaces. New window without workspaces.
      In the new windows I open, the workspaces opened in a previous instance are not repeated.
      This caused me several times to close the original window and then subsequent windows. Unintentionally.
      Now, when I open a new Opera window again, it appears without the workspace tabs.
      How can it be that in the different instances in which successive windows are opened, the tabs of the corresponding workspaces do not appear, which do appear in the sidebar, but empty? Is this the usual way of processing this feature of this Navigator? If so, very deficient, I think with respect.
      Regards.

        @hevikk Yes, that's how things are supposed to work. You can have different windows with different tabs.

          The limitations of my English did not allow me to be clear, I think.

          Tabbed workspaces appear in only one of the windows I have open.

          However, the spaces do appear in the sidebar of all the windows. But I reiterate with respect, the included tabs are only in the first open window.

          Therefore, if I don't notice and close this window, and then the second one in which there are no tabs in the workspaces, I can't recover them anymore, the next time I start Opera.

          The one with the workspaces in the sidebar, but without their tabs.

          To replace everything, I have to replace the "Default" folder in the Opera directory.

          With other browsers, in every window I open, both the workspaces and their respective tabs appear. Besides, they can be rescued in the synchronization. In Opera this does not happen. At least it doesn't happen to me. Edge; Vivaldi; Arc browser (the most complete of all, since it also allows to associate each workspace with a different profile and to create container folders. Unlike the "islands", these folders are not deleted).

          Any hints? Is this a bug or the expected performance of Opera workspaces?

          Thanks!

          HO

            @hevikk Like I said, that's how it was designed to work.

            If you want to keep different windows opened, just don't close them when you close Opera

              @leocg That is not an option. Least of all a valid answer. In any other browser, the same features are repeated in any window. I simply wanted to know if someone could indicate me, if that is so or, on the contrary, it would be some error in my installation. And if it is as you say, then Opera is very limited for work. As much as the answer you gave me. Although I appreciate it. Regards.

                @leocg For your limited knowledge perhaps, I just remembered that Edge for example opens each workspace accessed in a separate window. What I am asking is not a technical impossibility. But rather, very basic. To be able to open several windows and that in them, in each workspace, are the respective tabs. Anyway, Opera is being very colorful, but honestly, more marketing than anything else. Greetings.

                  Why?

                  In any other browser, the same features are repeated in any window.

                  Don't know how it works in other browsers, but in Opera it the way you already know, with different windows with different tabs in the same workspace.

                      @leocg But I am telling you that in my case it is not like that. The only window that opens with tabs in the workspaces is the first one. The successive windows, although they present the workspaces in the sidebar, are empty. They do not have tabs. So, if for any reason Opera closes and I am working in the window with the workspaces but without tabs, then when I reopen the browser, the window that should appear with its workspaces and corresponding tabs, appears empty. And the truth? I'm tired of having to backup the Default folder which is the profile I use. Anyway, I consider my experience with this browser a failure and I'm going back to Vivaldi and Arc to experience something new. I close epistolary circuit. Regards.

                        @hevikk It seems that there's a communication difficult here

                        What I am saying is that you can have different windows opened and each window will have its own tabs for the same workspace.
                        So, tabs opened in windows 1 will not show up in windows 2, just like you are experiencing.

                          @leocg Ok. So that way of working, I would think, is inconvenient in practice. Because if, like me, when I close the windows or because of an update, as it happened to me, it is not the last window with the tabs and their corresponding workspaces that I close, the next time I start Opera and open a new window, it appears empty of tabs in the spaces. Something is not right. I would also believe that a regular and assiduous user of this way of classifying and grouping bookmarks, which would be nothing more or less than that, the workspaces in Opera. Very simple too. In Edge, Vivaldi and Arc, for example, if I uninstall the browsers, then with a reinstallation from 0, with synchronization enabled, the spaces are reestablished with the corresponding tabs. In Opera, this does not happen. If I had known this a long time ago, instead of denying the backup of the Default folder, I wouldn't have wasted so much time with this browser. Other than that, thanks for the clarification. Regards and see you Opera.

                            @hevikk You can close Opera with several windows opened, and those windows will be recovered when you start Opera.

                            Also, you can reopen closed windows.

                              @leocg So, something is wrong. And that's what I'm asking about six or seven previous answers ago.
                              Anyway, thanks again. Opera is now case closed, for me.
                              Best regards!

                                  @leocg It is useless not to be able to keep the tabs that one saves in the workspaces and those that are produced, in other windows. Worse when by this system the main window is closed with the spaces loaded with a lot of tabs, followed by another one where the workspaces are empty, and the original window, the first one to be closed, cannot be recovered. Except for restoring the Default folder from the backup.
                                  Have fun working like this. I prefer the browsers that I saw that synchronize and maintain the workspaces, in the same way that happens with the bookmarks, which are repeated in each and every window that is opened.
                                  Anyway, either because of my English or because of your parsimony, it was not very clear to me that what happens to me, is the way Opera manipulates the spaces and their content. Either way. I don't waste another minute with this copy of the once pioneering, reliable and truly original Opera. Don't give me that the islands are an invention of the current Opera, please! Vivaldi has a much more developed concept of grouped tabs. For example among others. Or functions like the copy of Edge's Collection. Those innovacones in those browsers, they work, They will not have the neon light of Opera One but it does not leave you standing, because of the recurring failures of this little colored box that is the current Opera. The truth is that I'm angry. On top of your stupid final question. Etc. Goodbye. See you never.

                                    When you have multiple windows open and want to close Opera, do not click the X on any window. Instead, leave all windows open and click the Menu button at the top left of Opera in a window and choose "exit". Then, when you start Opera back up, all windows will open again and the tabs that were in each window will still be there in each window.

                                    Just make sure you have "Retain tabs from previous session" set at the URL opera://settings/onStartup.

                                      @hevikk said in Disappeared workspaces. New window without workspaces.:

                                      In the new windows I open, the workspaces opened in a previous instance are not repeated.

                                      Workspaces are just a visual separation of tabs in each window. Nothing more. So, since each window gets its own set of tabs, so do the workspaces in each window.
