IEP does not retain frame positions upon close and re-open #203

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Reproduce:
1. Your UI as you please with the various tools' frames
2. Close some tool
3. Re-open tool; position and size of frame reset

Suggest separate settings for frame size and position, and for shown/hidden. 
That way one could hide a UI element without losing its properties (see for 
example Side Bars in various applications, which width can be configured and 
they can be hidden without resetting the config).

-> Set your UI as you please etc.

This would be difficult to achieve. QMainWindow has a saveState and 
restoreState method, but it gives a byte object that describes the state for 
all tools at once. 

We could perhaps keep track of the sizes of the dock widgets ourselves, but I 
fear that it may be quite complicated. For instance, the position of a tool is 
not in x, y, but in terms of its relation to other widgets ...  I don't think 
Qt provides a nice API to control such things...

The saveState and restoreState could be used as part of session information in 
the Project context.

As for the specific proportions - if you keep track of the position of a frame 
relative to others etc. than in a situation where a user closes a frame and 
changes the dimensions of another frame, when reloading the closed frame it 
will adjust to the new proportions - which is excellent. You can then save all 
of the proportions in a file and retrieve the relevant ones when opening and 
closing frames, and QT should be able to handle it.

This sounds like a task that is very suitable for a contributor to work on :)

If someone can demonstrate a working example, based on a simple QMainWindow and 
its dock widgets, I can include it in IEP.

I had a feeling...
Let me finish my CS course, then we'll see where we're heading :-!
