when using setSaveAndRestore() the application always show the editor area [message #832650]

We have a RCP application, and i'm trying to save the state of the workbench after the user quit the application.
So far, i've done the following:

@Override
public void initialize(IWorkbenchConfigurer configurer) {
    super.initialize(configurer);
    configurer.setSaveAndRestore(true);
}

but when I reopen the application, it appears like this:

but the app should be like this

seems like that our editor areas is always visible when the saveAndRestore is set to true

we set the editAreaVisible to false in our perspective, and we have a PerspectiveListenerAdapter that search for all editorReferences and if there are none, we set the editorAreaVisible to false again.

any ideas?

I debugged the application, and I saw something weird...
My `Perspective` class is like this

    public void createInitialLayout(IPageLayout layout) {
    		IPartService partService = PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getPartService();
    		partService.addPartListener(new PerspectiveListenerAdapter());
    		
    		this.layout = layout;
    
    		String editorAreaId = layout.getEditorArea();
    
    		layout.createPlaceholderFolder(FI_TOP, IPageLayout.TOP, ratioTop, editorAreaId);
    		layout.createPlaceholderFolder(FI_BOTTOM, IPageLayout.BOTTOM, ratioBottom, editorAreaId);
    		
    		layout.setEditorAreaVisible(false);
    	}

but, when i set `setSaveAndRestore` to true, the Application doesn't hit `createInitialLayout`
is this a bug?

I have found the same problem - I've got an Eclipse RCP application as well - using v 3.6.2. If you find a solution, please post it. I have not found one to date, but if I do, I will also post it on this thread.

I believe that the creatInitialLayout will only be called once if setSaveAndRestore is true. Calling it on every launch would defeat the purpose of the feature. A value of true says that the Eclipse framework tracks the layout of the perspective so customizations by the user are saved from one session to the next. If createInitialLayout were called, it would wipe out the layout customized by the user.
