Reopen library at the same place as before?

Feature Description

After restarting the app, it would be cool to come back to the same library position when starting it again.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, IMHO it's not easy, for example if we consider the Computer feature and external libraries.

In the situation that the path doesn't exist, just go to the root Computer bit, imo.

Sure.
Thing is this, currently the path is loaded by right-clicking a sidebar item. The entire sidebar tree model is built lazily each time a item is selected.
So, setting a path programatically and selecting the respective sidebar item requires a huge refactoring. Not to mention the fact the Computer feature is some sort of hack currently, at least it has flaws that also affect UX (e.g. track views are repopulated from scratch each time a directory is selected).

I'm not saying it can't or shouldn't be done, but it's definitely not easy to implement it consistently for all library features.

I'm more thinking about Crates and scroll bar position.

For the case of the "Computer" icon, if it was focused last on Mixxx exit, just show the root space on restarting the app?

(I never use the Computer feature, and I would hide it if I could.)
