Version: 1.1.0_dr1 (using KDE 3.3.0, compiled sources) Compiler: gcc version 3.3.2 OS: SunOS (sun4u) release 5.8 Currently, if you are in tab mode, working in W2 in a plot having e.g. 4 windows, when you save the plot the next time you load it the last window (W4) is activated. It would be nice to remember the active window and give it focus again when loading the document.
This is easy to add, but how do we deal with when to save it? If a user opens a .kst file and changes tabs, then closes, should we prompt the user to save? That doesn't make much sense to me. If we don't, then what's the point of the feature since it only saves sometimes?
I think saving window tab is a nice feature. We already have a concept of not saving if the change is trivial. Eg, if you open a kst file, re-zoom, and then exit, it doesn't (shouldn't) query for save. This is the correct behavior - you can save it if you want, but let's not bug the user over a trivial save. The same thing should apply to changing tabs.

It's about 10 lines of code I think. :-)
CVS commit by staikos: Remember the last active window and restore it. Remembers it with a node in <windowsize> which maybe isn't completely ideal, but it's easier than storing an <active/> node in the window since that would require iterating through the windows and storing a flag, or walking the XML again. Maybe we'll get to clean the XML up one day and fix this then. Also cleans up KstApp::inst(), app, and parent() usage to be uniform. FEATURE: 98559 M +52 -40 kstdoc.cpp 1.148
