screenshot of checkbox to be added to misc settings in kdenlive

When I start kdenlive, I cannot just go. I always need to load my layout first. Of course, I can set hotkey for it, but it is still inconvenient to do it every time.
If there is already a checkbox to automatically load last project, why then there is no checkbox to automatically load last or specific layout view?

See attached screenshot of how it should be implemented in Misc settings.

This is a well-known issue that we cannot fix, as it is related to Qt. A search here or in the forum reveals a workaround:
1. do *not* maximize the Kdenlive window; "normalize" it temporarily.
2. Resize the Kdenlive window to its maximum, but don't use maximize.
3. Load your layout.
4. Quit Kdenlive.
5. Reload Kdenlive, the layout should now stick and the window be maximized.
