Question

Hello, I'm using mini.sessions + nvim-ufo.

I've a question - is it possible to configure mini.sessions so it will persist folds?

I tried adding vim.opt.sessionoptions:append('folds') but this has no effect.

Unfortunately, I don't think there is anything 'mini.sessions' specific that can be done here. It explicitly uses built-in sessions and this is what should be used to adjust here. If 'sessionoptions' doesn't work, then it might be an issue with 'nvim-ufo'.

For what it is worth, with foldmethod=indent fold state is saved between sessions (if fold was closed/open when writing session, it appears the same after reading session next time).

If there is some function/hook that 'nvim-ufo' requires to be executed in such cases, you can use it by defining config.hooks.post.read and or config.hooks.pre.write.

@echasnovski thank you for answer. Let me ask a follow-up question - can quickfix lists be persisted?

They're not persisted by default.

If it can be done with built-in sessions (which it doesn't look like possible), the only possible way is to write custom save/restore logic and use it in mentioned hooks. For example, this answer suggests using separate file (which I'd expect should be named the same as session for the purpose of this use case).
