Preserve Current UI Layout When Opening Project

This need to happen like right now Adobe! I have a workspace customized for wide screen with tons of scripts, resetting that takes time to load or the scripts everytime! One time AE crashed while doing this! U need to add an option to turn on/off this importing other workspaces option, urgently!

Yes, any option to avoid this would be grand.

I 100 million percent agree. This is a constant frustration. I am always updating my workspaces as I get new tools or find new workflows. Even opening up old projects with old workspaces can take forever as it struggles to change the whole layout, then inevitably change it all back once I switch it to my workspace I want. There should be a setting to decide this. I would much rather have everything always open to my most up to date default workspace, whether it is an old project of mine or someone else's. Please give us that option.

Came here to post this. It's not necessarily opening someone else's file, either--opening one of your own old files, where you'd used an earlier workspace layout, does the same thing. It would be great to have an option in prefs to toggle off the auto-loading of workspaces saved with files. Blender has this option, and it's great.
