Can MQTT Explorer consistently 'keep' historical data when disconnected from the broker?

[ajay10000]

Hello and thank you for creating such a wonderfully thought out and indispensable application!

I am using MQTT Explorer v0.4.0-beta.6 (portable) in Windows 11 and when logging out of Windows (hibernating, etc.) sometimes MQTT Explorer logs out (or is logged out) from the broker (Mosquitto) and other times it does not log out and the historical data is still there. It is incredibly handy to have the data 'kept' in MQTT Explorer, especially when fault finding on data that may not be logged elsewhere.

Is there a way to consistently keep the historical data across MQTT Explorer disconnects from the broker? I am not talking about the retain flag here, but keeping the data history, etc. in MQTT. I realise that the logs may need to be purged or rolled over at some point.

Many thanks! Andrew
