[scribus] Request for a feature - 'window memory'

[Mike Wright]

Hi a.l.e

Well, yes and no,

I played around a little and soem 'windows' did persist after restarting
Scribus, but not all. It seems that one has to dock them and then move
them to get them to persist. This is the first time I've observed any
behaviour like this in Scribus!

Just docking them means less space for viewing the actual document and I
find two screens essential for A3 and bigger layouts ('windows' on one
monitor and the main window on the other). I can't imagine how people
work with one monitor /screen for any length of time on bigger docs, at
least half-way efficiently. Maybe they have no deadlines ;-)

The 'properties' window never seems to persist ('text properties' does
now :-) ) - but I've only done initial tests so far.

Very interesting indeed! Thanks!!
