[Bug] Show/Hide state of panels not being remembered

[hyuri]

Every time I open a project, the left panel shows up.

The show/hide state of panels should be remembered, saved in the project file itself, so that when you open a project, it goes back to exactly how you left off.

Another option is to save the show/hide state of panels in the app installation configuration. But the downside is: when you move your project to another installation, that info is not retained.

Seems related to #114 and #128

OS

• Pop!_OS 22.04
• Gnome 42.5 (with third-party theme and extensions)

Starc

• v0.5.4
• Flatpak

This should work out of the box. What environment and app installation do you use?

Where is the file storing the panel state located on the filesystem?

Where is the file storing the panel state located on the filesystem?

In the standard .config folder. I checked this with the pop_os, and everything works fine in the clean installation.

@hyuri can you please a bit more info about your theme and extensions?

In the standard .config folder.

Which files should be present in that folder? I see these:

$ find ~/.var/app/dev.storyapps.starc/config
/var/home/jstone/.var/app/dev.storyapps.starc/config
/var/home/jstone/.var/app/dev.storyapps.starc/config/user-dirs.dirs
/var/home/jstone/.var/app/dev.storyapps.starc/config/Story Apps
/var/home/jstone/.var/app/dev.storyapps.starc/config/Story Apps/Story Architect.conf
/var/home/jstone/.var/app/dev.storyapps.starc/config/QtProject.conf

I'm also not sure which properties to look for with regards to window state.

I checked this with the pop_os, and everything works fine in the clean installation.

@hyuri can you please a bit more info about your theme and extensions?

Was the clean installation you tried using flatpak?

Is there a way I can share this in private with both of you? I'd rather not make this info public, to avoid a potential future attacker who may be looking for a way to target my system and may find this thread.

.../Story Apps/Story Architect.conf is the main one, where all the app preferences stored.

Exactly.
