Remember a different set of files in Spyder with different conda environments

Question

I have spyder installed for different conda environments. Despite this, when I open any spyder for python 2.X I have the same source files open. The same goes for any spyder for python 3.X.

I would like to have different source files open in spyder per every environment.

(Spyder maintainer here) To have that you need to create a Spyder project per each conda environment by going to the menu

Projects > New project...

and associating a directory with it.

This is because our saves and loads the set of open files in our Editor associated with each project.

Note: This will improved in Spyder 4 (to be released in 2019), when we add the possibility to associate pip/conda envs to our projects.

This works, but it opens the same project on all the spyders? – user1581390 Jun 16 '18 at 00:31
Yes, but you can switch projects quite easily by selecting them in the Projects menu. – Carlos Cordoba Jun 16 '18 at 03:59
