Is there anyway to persist pinned windows between visual studio closures?
At the moment, if you pin a window, when you close visual studio and open it back up again, the pinned status of said window has been reset and it is lumped in with all the other windows again.
You open a tab, go to a site, right-click the tab displaying the site, and select Pin Tab (or just Pin). That tab will then remain a permanent fixture to your browser until you unpin it (or you fall victim to that which I'll explain in a moment).
First, click and hold the title bar with the mouse, and then drag the window to where you want to dock it. Visual Studio displays some docking icons. Four icons are at the edge of the IDE, one each at the left, top, right, and bottom. These icons are used for docking the window at the given edge of the IDE.
Navigate to Tools -> Options -> Environment -> Tabs and Windows and checked the “Maintain pin status if document is removed from well” option. That's it. With this, your pinned status would be retain and next time if you open the document it will automatically show a pinned.
Use the Visual Studio designer Properties window to set the docking mode of a control. Select the control in the designer. In the Properties window, select the arrow to the right of the Dock property. Select the button that represents the edge of the container where you want to dock the control.
You can try to enable this setting (if it's currently unchecked):
Tools -> Options -> Environment -> Tabs and Windows -> Check "Maintain pin status if document is removed from well"
This solved me the same problem.
I hope this is not too late. I was having similar issues in VS 2013. I have found that pinned tabs were lost after restarting and then running the Solution, when we have the plugin, Productivity Power Tools installed.
I removed it and now the pinned tabs are not lost since then.
