[Qtractor-devel] Small feature request: Remember status of connections window

[Frank N. <bea...@we...>]

Hi,

when opening the "Connections" window (F8), opening some of the "folders" in
it (detailed per-port connections), closing and re-opening the window, all
"folders" are collapsed again to their initial state.
Can this be changed so the status is remembered the next time I open it?

Also, if I change the setting "View->Options->Display->Keep tool windows always
on top", the F8 and F9 keys to open/close the Mixer and Connections window only
work when the main window is active; the Mixer and Connections windows themselves
do not seem to react on these keyboard shortcuts. Would be handy if I could open/
close them no matter what window is currently active.

Thanks,
Frank

that behavior was subject of some other feature request. i guess it's
really a minor one, but i'll see what i can do about it ;)

now that one i'm not sure how i can address it cleanly. keyboard shortcuts
are indeed owned by top-level widgets and if you turn off the "keep tool
windows always on top" option then both mixer and connections widgets will
become top-level on its own and won't dispatch keyboard shortcuts to main
window anymore. it's all expected behavior: you give with one hand, you
take with the other. you can always press escape-key to hide away :)

And btw: If the view is stored for the connection windows, this should not
get influenced by the view window which can be reached by pressing the
output or input button on a mixer strip, or the insert i/os

i'm still thinking but, i'm sure it won't get solved that way (saving
current view state).

currently, after your prior request, the connections widget is being reset
to "(All)" on all panes unconditionally when invoked through the main menu
(View/Connections) or main toolbar button. now, i'm thinking on not doing
any reset at all when the filter criteria is already set to show "(All)"
client/ports...

Great, thanks a lot :-). Got it, built it, installed, seems to work fine. I think
this really improves usability quite a bit.

And also thanks for the hint about closing windows with the Escape key :-).

Good night,
