Bug 29089 – Inspector should remember preferences for docked/undocked etc

• Component: Web Inspector (Deprecated)
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Wells Oliver]

Inspector should remember a user's settings for preferences such as whether the window is docked, whether small icons are shown, whether the console is open, and so on.

[Timothy Hatcher]

We do remember if it is docked already. The others will be good to remember.

[PATCH] Remember Resources Large / Small Rows Preference

I'm open to changing the name "resourcesLargeRows". The naming convention I was going for was "<panel><SettingName>".  But there are so few preferences right now that this might not be needed.

Current patch attempts this.  Is there anywhere else other then Resources rows? Is there one in the Profiler or something? I seem to remember but I couldn't find anything else.

> whether the console is open

I'm against this. I prefer using ⌥⌘C to open with Console and ⌥⌘I to open without the Console and some extra real estate.  In fact, I'm hoping there can be a Console Only Inspector sometime!

Should be:

typeof resourcesLargeRows !== "undefined"

I thought about this (cause we had mentioned it before).  I took a look to check if there were others and felt fine when I saw there were a bunch.  Should I bother changing any of the others?

InjectedScript.js
1058:        return (obj.nodeType === undefined ? type : "node");

inspector.js
698:    if (complete === undefined)

Resource.js
406:        if (this._requestHeaders === undefined)
424:        if (this._sortedRequestHeaders !== undefined)
437:        if (this._responseHeaders === undefined)
455:        if (this._sortedResponseHeaders !== undefined)
576:            && this.contentLength !== undefined

treeoutline.js
74:    if (child.hasChildren && child.treeOutline._treeElementsExpandedState[child.identifier] !== undefined)
122:    if (child.hasChildren && child.treeOutline._treeElementsExpandedState[child.identifier] !== undefined)

[Timothy Hatcher]

Either works. I just prefer the typeof version now.

Wells Oliver - we're going to mark this as resolved.  If you still feel another preference should be added for the Console let us know.  We are comfortable with the current behavior and the keyboard shortcut solution.
