Bug ID: 503042
Summary: Editor toolview state should not be saved per file
Classification: Applications
Product: lokalize
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: editor
Assignee: sdepi...@gmail.com
Reporter: m...@kisaragi-hiu.com
CC: aa...@kde.org, sha...@ukr.net
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Editor toolview state being per-file makes configuring the UI in the editor
next to useless, as it doesn't get applied to the next file and every change
would have to manually be mirrored to other files.
In precisely zero case would one want a different window layout for every file.
EditorState should be global; open tabs not seeing the change until they are
reopened is better than the status quo.
https://invent.kde.org/sdk/lokalize/-/merge_requests/212 made the state
save/restore reliable but this issue remains.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open a PO file
2. Customize the UI for one's needs: enabling primary/secondary sync, moving
unit metadata to a different place to maximize item list etc.
3. Open another file
OBSERVED RESULT
Observe none of the customizations carried over even though none of the
customization is specific to one file.
This may be intentional, but either way it makes UI customizations utterly
useless even if restore works fine now.
EXPECTED RESULT
I can customize the UI once and have it not care about which file I'm editing.
Saving state from the last tab opened is fine.
