Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ProxymanApp/Proxyman/issues/936

Originally assigned to: @NghiaTranUIT on GitHub.

Proxyman version? (Ex. Proxyman 1.4.3)

2.29.0 (22900)

macOS Version? (Ex. mac 10.14)

12.0 Beta (21A5284e)

Steps to reproduce

Open Proxyman
Record some traffic
Select some of the traffic and right-click and tap "Export -> as HAR"
Give the file a name "A"
Close all the Proxyman tabs and windows
Quit Proxyman using Cmd+Q
Open Proxyman
Observe that live traffic is being captured
Now open the HAR file named "A.har"
Observe that instead of opening in a tab it opens in the sidebar
This is different to the behaviour for a saved session ".proxymansession"

Expected behavior

I would expect HAR files to just open as editable tabs in the same way I've suggested saved sessions should work.

Screenshots (optional)

Sorry, but it's our intention. When opening a HAR file, it will add to the Pin folder, not opening a new Tab.

We decide to follow this because there are many users who would open multiple HAR files to inspect their log, and it's really inconvenient to open each HAR file as a new tab.

I see that's fair.
