Description:
On opening a new WB model, every ER diagram in that model is opened.  For a model with lots of diagrams that can be quite aggravating, as it forces me to mass-close a bundle of tabs before I can get working with the model.

How to repeat:
From a running instance of WB, file » open a model that contains a number of ER diagrams.

OR

Invoke WB from the commandline as:

/usr/bin/mysql-workbench %model-filename%

Suggested fix:
Create an option in the config:

"How to open new models"
* Open every diagram
* Open no diagrams
* Open model in last state

Thank you for the feature request.

Saving of closed state of diagram tabs has been implemented.

fix confirmed. will be included in 5.1.17

An entry was added to the 5.1.17 changelog:

When a model with multiple EER Diagrams was opened, all EER Diagrams would be displayed in tabs. This happened whether or not a EER Diagram had been displayed in a tab prior to saving the model.

MySQL Workbench has been changed so that the EER Diagram tab state is saved, so that when a model is opened, only those EER Diagram tabs that were open on save are restored. This prevents unnecessary cluttering of the interface.
