Chris,
ok I think i see what's up.
this is the last out of the pref file. I shut down dragon first, then my ferror panel.
if the numbers are as you mention, it's writing the info from the ferror panel..not the main dragon panel.
next time I run I will shut down the ferror panel before the main dragon, and see what happens....

[SCREEN_OPTIONS]
mainwindow_geometry = 1664 67 248 440
 

Well that's interesting. Does your panel has a screen_options widget?
You can control it's preference file from there.

I am currently using a deb from Seb's buildbot2 repository. date:

linuxcnc-uspace_2.10.0~pre0.486.g7abb824bf_amd64.deb

are you and Jim (persei8) pushing to 2.9 or 2.10 or where/???
 

Jim works in a private repo.
I push to the linuxcnc github repo 2.9 and merge up to master.
I'm not sure of the details of Sebs buildbot2 - do you have the link?
 

I am pretty sure it does. I followed the doc example of making a panel.

-yes it does
But to be totally sure, I'll have to check on the machine later this morning.

Should it have it's own preference file? I don't know about that one either. I will check.

-there was not one, but I created one.   does not appear to be using it.   see the attached file.  the file is the terminal output from a short run.


I will also look at Seb's repository and see what date the latest deb is of. Maybe update to it. I am very cautious about updating.....

check it out: buildbot2.highlab.com/

you can always ask Seb. He's usually lurking on IRC devel channel.

just updated to the newest deb from Seb.

linuxcnc-uspace_2.10.0~pre0.863.g89948ab62_amd64.deb

the shutdown error is gone. the side ferror panel still functions.

Excellent.

From your terminal output text, I identified the window geometry saving problem and have pushed a fix. -thanks.
The biggest error was any qtvcp mainWindow would use the preference file if it could find it.
and the geometry keyword for all main windows was always the same.

Panels don't have to have a preference file - only if you need it to remember things.
