RDP doesn't remember plot settings between QGIS sessions
Issue #2
on hold
It would be great if the plugin could remember the plotting settings between QGIS sessions (layers used/symbols/etc). When saving a QGIS project and reopening it, the RDP window will start at default settings (no layers added).
RDP Version: 1.6.1 QGIS Version: 3.8.2

@Benjamin Jakimow have you any experience in saving and restoring widget state information between QGIS sessions? Any hints where to start reading on that topic is highly appreciated.

All you need are QSettings https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qsettings.html

- But this is not even a QGIS class, how will the settings end up in the users project QGZ file?
- I think I would need to connect to a signal that indicates that the user has saved (or is about to save) the current project, right?
- And after the user loads that QGZ project file again, I would need to get notified to re-initialize my GUI.
Can all this be done via the QSettings class?

You asked for QGIS sessions. If you want to save data in a QGIS project, you might use the QgsProject.instance() singleton and its read/write functions. https://qgis.org/api/classQgsProject.html

Good point! I will think about it for the next release.
