Feature request: return to previously opened preference
When fine tuning preferences, it is often needed to go repeatedly to the same preference page. Example: Preferences->TechDraw->Scale->Vertex scale
It would be very convenient if the last used Preference page would be reopened, when reopening the preferences again, i.e. with the example given above, the Preferences->TechDraw->Scale tab would directly be opened.
What do you think?

Optional, yes. Without optional, no.

Would that be enough that it's remembered within the session but lost when closing FC?
Re: Feature request: return to previously opened preference
I agree that this would be a nice addition (and yes, @openBrain, I think that would be fine). Actually the real reason that the "Preference Packs" is on the very first page is because it has to reload the preference dialog after running a pack, and I wanted it to look like you never left!
Re: Feature request: return to previously opened preference
Of course only in the session.

Re: Feature request: return to previously opened preference
Is there a certain use case you are thinking of?

FYI, the class DlgPreferencesImp already provides the method activateGroupPage() that activates a certain page number of a category. All what's needed is to save the name of the category and the page number when clicking on OK.
Re: Feature request: return to previously opened preference
That was fast. Thanks!

Re: Feature request: return to previously opened preference
Easy. If i go in a session in t he preferences, normally i did not know, what i did there before, only on very rare occasions i know that (some tweaking). So everytime when would i go in the preferences with the view as before, i have to reorient where i am. Also since the list of workbenches is pretty long, i find this annoying. But it is not a showstopper.
