Hello!

From the vim manual, under :help mks...

2. Restores global variables that start with an uppercase letter and contain
at least one lowercase letter, if 'sessionoptions' contains "globals".

So, unfortunately, g:netrw_list_hide does not satisfy that constraint.

I checked into whether this process could be automated; unfortunately,
there does not appear to be a SessionWritePre autocmd event. If there
was, something like

au SessionWritePre * let g:Netrw_list_hide= g:netrw_list_hide
au SessionLoadPost * let g:netrw_list_hide= g:Netrw_list_hide

might work.
