What version of Qt are you using (or what version of linux).
It works for me with mint 20 qt 5.12.8
I pulled the latest version of master to get your changes. So I should be running QTplasmac v1.215.110 2021 Oct 27I was testing on a sim on my Chromebook. I'll try on real hardware when I get a month in the next day or so as the weekend is over!
I was a bit confused by your earlier post, you said it worked but then asked if it could stay between sessions? That would indicate to me it didn’t work? Or did I miss something?
Can you post the output from the terminal start and close of qtplasmac?
There might be a clue in there. Qsettings (the basis of this) was added in qt 5.9.x so should function.
Dump attached. I wonder if its a permissions issue?Where is it saved?This is RIP so I assumed its under ~/linuxcnc-dev somewhereMaybe QT saves elsewhere.

It seems that no matter what, on each restart (of LCNC), the following are always "None":
Code:
sect = self.SETTINGS_.value('sortIndicatorSection')
order = self.SETTINGS_.value('sortIndicatorOrder')
Although they are being assigned a value when they are getting set during the cleanup.
Also, if I hard code them (3 and 1 for date and descending), then it does work. So it's something with storing or recalling the setting.
could you add:
self.SETTINGS_.sync()
to file_manager in the _hal_cleanup function after the line:
self.SETTINGS_.setValue('sortIndicatorOrder', h.sortIndicatorOrder())
excellent. I found some time to test on an older system. It seems newer versions of qt must call synch() automatically, so i added the command to cover older systems.
