And some luck :-)
The reason for this specific behaviour resides in GuiApplication::readUIFile.
This code (line 1540 in branch):
QSettings settings;
settings.beginGroup("ui_files");
bool touched = false;
for (int i = 0; i != uifiles.size(); ++i) {
QFileInfo fi(uifiles[i]);
QDateTime const date_value = fi.lastModified();
QString const name_key = QString::number(i);
if (!settings.contains(name_key)
|| settings.value(name_key).toString() != uifiles[i]
|| settings.value(name_key + "/date").toDateTime() !=
date_value) {
touched = true;
settings.setValue(name_key, uifiles[i]);
settings.setValue(name_key + "/date", date_value);
}
}
settings.endGroup();
if (touched)
settings.remove("views");
explicitely removes the "views" group from settings if the UI files have been
touched. So no wonder the toolbar settings are lost (they are part of this
group).
I guess Abdel will tell us the reason for this behaviour, since he introduced
this code here:
