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 ยป 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

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.
