custom application layout is lost after switching profiles and switching profile back

Open o5t6iaqo7 opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

Environment

Joplin version: 2.8.8 (prod,darwin) Platform: macOS OS specifics: 12.5.1

Steps to reproduce

  1. have customized profile layout similar to screenshot 1 (note, I have Favorites v1.3.0 plugin as part of my custom layout)
  2. create a new profile
  3. switch profile to new profile (no need to customize Layout for new profile)
  4. switch profile back to Default profile (original)
  5. custom application Layout for Default has been reset, one has to customize again
  6. each time I switch profiles, custom layout of my primary / Default resets

Describe what you expected to happen

Custom application layouts will be remembered / linked to each profile, so automatically restored upon switching profiles, especially for my primary (Default) profile.

Logfile very long incl hash/crypto info for Joplin cloud maybe - is there a way to export shorter / non-private log if you need?

kindly see screenshots this should make bug / unexpected behavior clear:

1 correct custom layout 2 layout of new profile 3 layout of original profile after switching back - customization lost

In order to get support / feedback for any workaround - should I duplicate this post over in a different forum? Or add a different label?

added comment to keep from getting closed and cross-posted to Joplin forums Support - hoping someone can help!

The layout is shared between profiles, so maybe that's your issue?

Ahh. That explains it. I had assumed profiles had independent layouts, much as Firefox and Chrome user profiles customize the interface. Please consider this a feature request.

In the meantime, as a workaround, is there a command or plugin to manually save and restore a layout? My plug-ins in my default profile, include Favorites, which adds a panel.
