I Open a new Folder by File→Open Folder, and then a New Window occurs with no Chat Window. I Open pre Folder by File→Open Folder again, but Only 3~4 Chat history occurs on the Window!!
I try to find the history, and found ,"cursor\projects\xxx\agent-transcripts\, History exists, but cannot import to Cursor Agent Chat Window. There are still 3~4 history in window layuout.
Cursor version：3.0.12
26 条 transcript 在 agent-transcripts 目录，UI 只显示 4 条
路径：~\.cursor\projects\xxxx\agent-transcripts\

Hey there,
Your chat data is not lost – the 26 transcripts on disk are intact. The problem is that the sidebar chat list is tied to an internal workspace identifier, and opening a different folder (or re-opening the same folder via a different method) can cause that identifier to shift. When it shifts, older chats become invisible in the sidebar even though the data is still on disk.
A few users have reported the same pattern – more details in this related thread: Chats disappearing after reopen
Workaround for now: Always open your project folder the same way (e.g., only via File > Open Recent or only via File > Open Folder to the exact same path). This keeps the workspace identifier consistent and should preserve the chat list between sessions.
The team is aware and tracking this.
Yes，I find these 26 items in a folder, they still exist. The problem is that, these History cannot be shown in Cursor Window Layout. I can only read them(.jsonl) by Text Edit Tools such as Nodepad++, this is unclear for we Human.
Hope Cursor Team repair this problem as soon as possible.
