Bug 35973

I'll add that this is one of the mosty annoying issues I have with Impress' user interface, and that it probably is trivial to fix, so adding the EasyHack title.

While we're at it, the state of the left sidebar (the one containing the slides) could be remembered too.

I'm going to try to fix it

When you comment out lines 152 till 156 of file sd/source/ui/framework/module/ToolPanelModule.cxx then the sidebar on the right won't show after startup.
The following text is on those lines.

    pResourceManager->AddActiveMainView(FrameworkHelper::msImpressViewURL);
    pResourceManager->AddActiveMainView(FrameworkHelper::msNotesViewURL);
    pResourceManager->AddActiveMainView(FrameworkHelper::msHandoutViewURL);
    pResourceManager->AddActiveMainView(FrameworkHelper::msSlideSorterURL);

When you comment out lines 67 till 72 of file sd/source/ui/framework/module/SlideSorterModule.cxx then the sidebar on the left won't show after startup.
The following text is on those lines.

        AddActiveMainView(FrameworkHelper::msImpressViewURL);
        AddActiveMainView(FrameworkHelper::msOutlineViewURL);
        AddActiveMainView(FrameworkHelper::msNotesViewURL);
        
        AddActiveMainView(FrameworkHelper::msDrawViewURL);

I'll work on to try to make a configurable item from it so it remembers the last state.

Any progress on this?

I'm trying to solve this but I didn't work on it for a while.

I've added the config-values to my code-base, and try to use the configmgr/configitem. But I can't get it to work correctly yet. I'm sorry for the delays with this bug.

And works nicely. Pushed to master. Rob, anything left doing here?

Marked patch obsolete, as this is pushed. Bug will then not show up in open patch queries.

If this is accepted I need to do the same with the task-pane.
