Bugzilla – Bug 58579
UI settings (state, size, placement) are not saved/restored
Last modified: 2008-06-25 09:48:42 UTC
don't know if this already has a bugzilla-entry: in package-manager or you, there is a box with: name/summary/installed-ver/available-ver ... you can change the layout of this box (width of colums and sequence) but this is never saved. The default setup in you will always show me "name","summary" and maybe the first two letters of the installed-version. I need to know both versions to be sure you does not attempt a downgrade but I could not care less about the summary ... ;)
That's not so simple - there are a lot of settings affected, and most of the UI is a generic toolkit, so the logical connection would get lost in a hurry: For the UI, those things are usually just generic tables - it doesn't know where they are used and thus what value to restore (and when). As for your particular case, there is something that might even be easier to use: http://www.suse.de/~sh/YaST2-Package-Manager/index.html#colors A downgrade would mean red font color for that package in the package list on the right side of the YOU dialog. Agreed, you can't tell the difference for the currently selected package (usually the first in the list), but for all others it's way easier to see. Plus, there are also the tooltips that explain version differenced in detail - even telling if the version you are looking at is newer or older than what you already have installed. As for the session settings management you are requesting, let's put that in the back burner - maybe a good idea pops up at some point. Currently I don't have one.
post 9.3
Adapted product / version number - problem still exists in 10.0

This report is related to saving widgets and whole windows size and placement. Also widgets state like checkboxes ("autocheck" in Yast2 Software Manager module for example). I hope, changed summary and this bit of explanation reduce double closing reports :-)

Bug was opened >3 years ago, and there's 14 dupes... Will this *ever* happen?
I guess this will be done shortly after fixing bug 56094 </sarcasm> *g,d&r*

mass reopening all SuSE Linux bugs that are set to REMIND+LATER to change the resolution to WONTFIX (adapting to new policy)
Closing old LATER+REMIND bugs as WONTFIX - if you still plan to work on it, feel free to reopen and set to ASSIGNED. In case the report saw repeated reopen comments, it's due to bugzilla timing out on the huge request ;(
