Feature request for product/service
Chat
Describe the request
When the workspace root folder is renamed or moved to a different parent path, Cursor
treats it as a different workspace and previous Agent chat threads are no longer
accessible from the UI. The project is often the same continuity of work, so losing
history forces costly re-explaining.
Request
- Please provide an official, supported way to keep or migrate Agent chat history
after folder rename/move—for example: a wizard to re-attach history from the old
path to the new one, or merge selected threads into the new workspace. - Ideally, associate workspace state with a stable project identifier (e.g. under
.cursor) so path changes can resolve to the same conversation history.
Optional: if a safe migration flow is complex, documented steps or an in-app tool
with backups would still greatly help vs. users editing workspaceStorage manually.
Thank you for considering this.
