@SGaist said in Re-activate (known as create a new substance) a QMainWindow after the last QMainWindow is closed:

Based on this feature request, you should be able to react on the ˋQEvent::ApplicationActivate`.

I'm using that in a subclass of QApplication.
The idea in pseudo code:

void Application::applicationStateChanged ( Qt::ApplicationState state) { if(state==Qt::ApplicationActive AND no window is open AND OpenUntitledWindow ) { openNewWindow(); }

OpenUntitledWindow is a flag setting if an new window/document should be opened on startup, it works also when the app is reactivated with the code above.
