Hey all, Just thought I would make everyone aware of a quick time saver for restoring dialog/widget positions added in master. This is mainly to remove the pain of having to do restoreGeometry()/saveGeometry() in every widget and remembering the naming we use for settings keys. It's also about fixing consistency inside the application so every dialog remembers their state correctly.
The new API is: QgsGui::instance()->enableAutoGeometryRestore( this ); This should go just after setupUi( this ); Here is an example: <goog_1212792088> https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/blob/master/src/gui/qgsexpressionbuilderdialog.cpp#L26 You can then remove any calls to restoreGeometry() and saveGeometry() in your widget. Diff of an example: <goog_1212792089> https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/commit/57dc9deb06a8f4474429b2956008188292588a1b#diff-b4d61d74d8a5b5319106d746b54d378bL21 Unless there is a good reason not, all new widgets should be using this code when you write them. I would like to ask if people can start to port existing widgets if they are already editing that code. I will be doing a bulk update when I can but I suspect I will miss some and group effort is better in case I run out of time. Regards, Nathan
