[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #60646] launching qt doc browser with doc function leaves temporary files

[John W. Eaton]

Follow-up Comment #11, bug #60646 (project octave):

We do not currently keep track of which ones were opened from the command
line.

With the new terminal widget, it will be possible to have the following
sequence (the lines marked with ? is the behavior that I would expect but
might still be up for debate):

 * open a dockable widget from the command line
 * open the desktop from the command line
   ? open dockable widgets should remain undocked
 * dock one of the widgets that was initially opened from the command line or
undock one that was originally opened (and docked) with the main desktop
window
 * close the desktop window and return to the command line
   ? any undocked widgets should remain open
   ? widgets that were originally opened at the command line but were docked
when the desktop were closed should be closed with the main desktop window

When restarting Octave in command line mode, should it open and display
widgets that were undocked the last time it was closed?

If starting Octave in GUI mode after a sequence like the one described above
for a command line session, should the dockable widget configuration from the
previous command-line session be restored, or should CLI/GUI widget positions
be handled separately?
