CardView mode not restored on restart & crippled Console for Gramps

[emyoulation]

The Dashboard CardView is not reloaded when it was the last view mode on exit.

Suddenly, the Gramps console no longer shows any context menu (mark all, copy, etc.) nor allows marking console text for clipboarding. Is something trying to set up a context menu? Perhaps it reset the Console's context menu instead of the one for the Gramps GUI?

Was trying to collect the following message about "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'gramps'":

Interesting, that seems to have been working okay for me.

After shutdown what are last-view and last-views set to in your gramps.ini?

I also noticed that the Dashboard view appeared with the default set of toolbar icons, then the Default Dashboard view mode populated its gramplets, then the Toolbar refreshed and added the Dashboard CardView mode icon.

And after the last test with Gramps sitting idle in the default Dashboard View, a spontaneous exit.

When you have a chance let me know if you continue to have issues with 0.99.105

[emyoulation]

[Correction: CardView mode restores.]

The issue persists with the 0.99.105 version. I launched Gramps twice in succession with my tree. Both times required manually choosing the Dashboard Card View mode.

manually select the Card View dashboard (even though it was the last active view)

Did some further tests.

• The disappearing Context Menu persists even if the Plugins folder is entirely moved out of the gramps51 subfolder of the Gramps User Directory. That issue is unrelated to the CardView addons
• Noted that my default dashboard was populated entirely with my experimental manglings of some standard dashboard gramplets. Removed ALL gramplets from the default dashboard and repeated the test with a freshly created BLANK tree. The CardView Dashboard (as the Last View used) still does not restore when Gramps is restarted.

Success!!

Tried turning of the Preferences setting, exiting, restarting, resetting the preferences. Repeating the test with a 1 person Tree now showed the CardView dashboard upon relaunch.

Still saw odd log messages:

The RestoreHist issue can be ignored as I recall. I submitted a PR to help make it work cleanly with the GlobalHistory class but don't think Paul looked at it yet. If you examine the hist_save.ini it saves the data in json format, and the tuples the GlobalHistory class passes to it are converted to lists and when read back in need to be recast as tuples.
