Storage Inspector tree loses its state on page reload

[ra_shoe]

I recently have been working on a feature on our website that uses the browser's Local Storage a lot. When debugging our site, I have to reload the page quite frequently. Every time I do that, the "tree" view in the Storage Inspector tab (that shows Cache Storage, Cookies, Indexed DB, etc.) always collapses all opened nodes and I lose the current view (the domain I am working on within "Local Storage"), and the main pane in the Dev Tools window shows up as a blank, empty space, minus the "Filter Items" bar at the top. I then have to open up Local Storage, and click on the domain to go back to my previous view.

A couple times I accidentally interpreted this as all of my Local Storage items having just been removed!

Is there any way to preserve the view on page reloads?

Thanks!

I agree, this would be very helpful when working with local storage. Not sure if it should be another suggestion but even keeping the selected item and the tree expanded would help because you would more easily see changes when interacting with the page and JavaScript updating local storage.
