A bug with assembly list

• 
  This is a common problem I run into when I'm debugging an addin ... that is crashing. Do you have any addins installed? Are you getting the popup crash dialog to send information to Red-Gate or is it just closing?

  No, this is not related to an add-in, and Reflector works properly and is not closed itself. This occurs if I manually close Reflector quickly after it starts (but hasn't time to load all assemblies yet as it loads assemblies one-by-one within one or two seconds). No crash occurs but the next time I start Reflector, it loads only those assemblies that was loaded before I close it last time.

  You might be running into problems due to the way Reflector only seems to persist any changes (ie. adding/removing assemblies) at the time it closes/is closing. So if something is happening to crash it while loading or unloading the cfg file will seem go back to the previous settings (due to the persisting not completing). Sometimes on a crash it will take the cfg file back to the default settings (creates a brand new cfg file).

  This actually has happened to me several times. The use case for me is usually one of two things:
  
  1) Start Reflector, realize I already have a copy open, close it before it finishes loading everything up.
  
  2) Start Reflector, wait while a fairly large list of assemblies loads up, think differently about what I'm doing and decide to shut it down before it's done loading the list.
  
  Either way, the second I click that "close" button I know I've hosed myself and will need to re-create my list.
  
  Oh, there's a plugin idea: list backup. Or maybe "list templates" where you can start a new list based on an existing list.
