I am using v3.07 and I have noticed that when I close the program and open it again, all the files I had open in the last session show up again.

This is not a bug, it's a feature:

> **[Directories – Mp3tag Documentation](https://docs.mp3tag.de/customization/options/directories/)**
>
> Documentation of Directories configuration options. Mp3tag is the universal Tag Editor.

> If start from this directory is enabled, Mp3tag loads this (possibly empty) directory instead of the last used directory.
