Thanks, adding .setObjectName() in the constructor of the dock widget subclass
worked to restore the dimension of the widget. However, the dock widget does
not show automatically at QGIS startup even if it was open during the last
session. What is the proper way to achieve this?
Here is the code that I'm using to initialize and run the dock widget:
def initGui(self):
"""Create the menu entries and toolbar icons inside the QGIS GUI."""
self.log("init")
icon_path = ':/plugins/layout_panel/icon.png'
self.add_action(
icon_path,
text=self.tr(u'Layout Panel'),
callback=self.run,
parent=self.iface.mainWindow())
if self.dockwidget == None:
self.dockwidget = LayoutPanelDockWidget(self.iface,
self.iface.mainWindow())
self.dockwidget.closingPlugin.connect(self.onClosePlugin)
self.iface.addDockWidget(Qt.LeftDockWidgetArea, self.dockwidget)
def onClosePlugin(self):
"""Cleanup necessary items here when plugin dockwidget is closed"""
self.pluginIsActive = False
def unload(self):
"""Removes the plugin menu item and icon from QGIS GUI."""
for action in self.actions:
self.iface.removePluginMenu(
self.tr(u'&Layout Panel'),
action)
self.iface.removeToolBarIcon(action)
# remove the toolbar
del self.toolbar
def run(self):
"""Run method that loads and starts the plugin"""
if not self.pluginIsActive:
self.pluginIsActive = True
self.dockwidget.show()
Thank you!
Best,

Try calling .setObjectName() in the constructor of your dock widget subclass.
That's required for the standard QGIS dock arrangement save/restore code to
work correctly. (That's all that's needed -- you don't need to manually do any
calls to saveGeometry/restoreGeometry).
Also I suggest using the QgsDockWidget subclass as the base class for your
widget, as it has some extra niceness added on top of the standard Qt
QDockWidget class.
