Dialog status of preferences dialog not saved (0.92.x)
Steps to reproduce:
- Launch Inkscape
- Open preferences dialog
- Restart Inkscape -> Preferences dialog is not reopened
While this is unproblematic (but shows the issue), it becomes quite annoying the other way round:
In Inkscape 1.0.x the status is remembered, so if the preferences dialog was open when last using 1.0.x it will open on every startup when using 0.92.x afterwards (with no way to turn it off again).
Details:
For some reason Inkscape 0.92.x does not set the preference /dialogs/preferences/visible
See Dialog::save_status()
in "src/ui/dialog/dialog.cpp" for where it should be set (that function is never called for the preferences dialog.
