Build 2002-03-05 When I exit eclipse with some windows minimized, when I restart eclipse all windows open as non-minimized.
Make sure to check the maximimzed case as well.
Simon can you check in the latest build? This may have been fixed.
This has not been fixed using the latest build. If you have a window minimized on shutdown, on start-up it will be opened, not minimized. Also, it seems to ignore the maximize state when the window is minized. For example: - start the workbench - make sure you have 2 or more windows open - mazimize all of them - minimize on window - shutdown the workbench - startup the workbench again Notice the window that was not minimized is restore opened and maximized (correct). But the one minimized is restored open (wrong, it should be minimized) and its not longer in the maximize state.
Defer (unless you feel strongly about this and want to take it for 2.1).
We can do one of the following: 1) Remember the minimized state and restore the window as minimized. We would need to remember also when unminimizing, if the window should be in the maximized or normal state. Also, we need to remember the normal state bounds and handle multiple monitors. See bug 37909 for details about this for the maximized case. One potential problem is what if all the windows were minimized on shutdown? On startup, no window would be visible. That's not good. At the very least, we could make sure at least one window in not minimized (if all are minimized, then one would be set as unminimized...probably the window which has focus last before shutdown) 2) We could just not restore a window back into minimized state. It would restore back into the maximized or normal state depending on what state it was in when minimized before shutdown.
Decided to go with option number two from comment 5 above. It's simpler and should statisfy most needs.
