Fixes #9574 Previously, we were storing the project directory paths as the `initialPaths` key in load settings, which were accessed in the browser process by reading the URL hash. However, this URL hash was not always available, subjecting us to timing issues when opening multiple files in the same folder in rapid succession. We now store the project directory paths directly on AtomWindow instances on creation, then RPC changes from the render process to the browser process with a custom code path. Shout out to :airplane::finnadie:’d @as-cii on this for pairing with me.
Atom is a hackable text editor for the 21st century, built on Electron, and based on everything we love about our favorite editors. We designed it to be deeply customizable, but still approachable using the default configuration.
