[QGIS-Developer] Saving New Map View(s)

[A Huarte]

Hi, in this experimental QEP [1] QGIS saves all map views to project file. It saves the full window state of the application. But there is an issue with this [2], Qt does not provide a method similar to restoreDockWidget() [3] to restore as better as possible the state of a specific widget (a widget with a map) without change the full window state of the application. Therefore, the loading of a project with non-floating maps may cause that windows previously closed appear, or visible windows disappear.
I hope this helps to decide best solution.

Yes, I agree: only warn the user 'if you close this view, it will not be
saved in your project' or something like that.

The alternative: 'remembering closes/invisible views' in the project
file is doomed to give problems I think. It is like an old bug we had
earlier: removing layers from the layers list still had the providers in
the project file, so you saw your project firing requests to wms's which
you deleted earlier as file ...
