Hey all,

i´ve got a simple question (yes i googled it first Wink

): My e4 application does not save my layout, so if i drag a part to the bottom of my window and restart the application, the part was reset to his old location Sad

What do i have to do to save the new part location? I already checked and removed the "-clearPersistedState" argument and also my runconfiguration does not clear the workspace, so there must be any other magic Wink

Hmm either its too easy or too hard Sad

Let me ask something else: Do you do anything to save your application Model when your application shuts down? Or does it work for you right out of the box (as it also does in Eclipse 3. Cool

?

Thanks for your help in advance
Thomas

Not starting with -clearPersistedState? Check your plugin.xml it could
be also set in the product properties!

Make sure that you also don't have a property for your application for 'clearPersistedState'. In general you should indeed be getting the save / load for free.
