What feature would you like to see?
Currently, when you type codex --resume, you get a full list of conversation histories across all the projects, which makes it quite difficult to go through. It'd be much more useful if the resume selections are project specific.
This also applies to codex --continue, currently, when you're running multiple repos, if you do codex --continue in one repo when you had a more recent codex interaction in another repo, it'll pick up the conversation from that other repo, which is not helpful.
Are you interested in implementing this feature?
sorry, don't have the skill set to implement it yet.

Implement a tool myself. https://github.com/andylizf/codexer
Hope they can quickly address this. The feature would be super helpful when we get tons of projects on one machine.
codex resumenow filters by the current project/directory by default. You can usecodex resume --allfor the older behavior.
