Developer environment improvement (QT Creator)

SGaist

What version of Qt Creator are you using ?

I don't have any problem with the session management loading my projects/settings.

And do you have all extra windows outside main Creator window every time when you reopen session?
Usually I am opening many such extra windows on my four displays. But if I have closed Creator and then reopened it I have no my extra windows. Just main window with project and last edited file.

SGaist

What extra windows ?

@SGaist I use last version 3.6.1
But it was peculiar to all previous Creator versions on all my computers during last 8 years.

@SGaist If you click to Split icon in right up corner of main Creator window then you can choose there 'Open in New Window'. I like to open a lot of such windows to see many places of my project simultaneously. It's useful and comfortable very much.
So I would like to keep my work environment (these windows) if open Creator again or switch to other certain session.
But now we have no such feature and we loose previous state. I mean previous session with all opened before windows.

Ok, that's clearer now. AFAIK, these should also be saved. Can you check whether you are experiencing the same behavior with the new Qt Creator 4 Beta ?

mat300

OK. I'll check this on 4 beta tonignt

mat300

@SGaist The same result for beta 4.0.
It looks like this feature to remember extra windows is not implemented in Creator.
Just as it is for switching between sub-sessions for git checkout.

How it is possible here to request a new feature development?

SGaist

I'd say that the missing windows is rather a bug.

For the git following, yes a feature request.

The bug report system is the right place. Don't forget to first check if there's already something. If so, you can vote the reports/requests already submitted.

@SGaist Thanks for tips.

But anyway, as I see the problem, Inability of Creator to remember window layout is not a bug because I had and have the same problem for all Creator Win and Linux versions that I used during last 8 years.

Can you prove that you can open several windows and then switch to another session and after that switch back to first session and get previous windows layout?
It is very interesting for me to see that.
