Hi,

Have there ever been previous requests for the possibility to let KDevelop restore more than just the last-used window size (across sessions) and whatever it currently saves of the per-session internal window layout?

I for one would love to see a per-session save/restore of
- size
- position
- screen

IOW, the stuff handled by QWindow::save/restoreGeometry() or even QMainWindow::save/restoreState().

FWIW this feature is the default for native OS X applications, and it's very practical. KDevelop already seems to have a per-session save/restore of the internal layout of the session window; this would make more sense if the session A window were always restored to the same size regardless of how other sessions were resized since A was last closed.

AFAIC the same applies to position: if you're often working with multiple sessions it's quite nice not to have to put them back at their usual positions each time you open them again.

R.
