Reopening automatically a "dock" plugin at start
Hi,
There is this Duration Editor plugin that I made. I'd like not having to reopen it, resize it, re-place it every time I open Musescore.
Is this possible ?
Cheers,

You can store a plugin's preferences along with (and inside) the MuseScore preferences (MuseScore3.ini actually).
Check how the Batch Export plugin does it (and a few others), that doesn't set (nor store) its size or position though.
Do run a plugin at MuseScore's start, you may be able to use the commandline and the -p option

Hi, I had little successes with your suggestions. Thanks anyway.
For the "-p" option, I couldn't make it work. As soon as I add a "-p" option MuseScore doesn't start anymore or crashes.
I tried different syntaxes (I tried with a "dialog" plugin and a "dock" plugin)
"C:\Program Files\MuseScore 3\bin\MuseScore3.exe" -p alternatefingering --> no start
"C:\Program Files\MuseScore 3\bin\MuseScore3.exe" -p alternatefingering.qml --> MS crash
"C:\Program Files\MuseScore 3\bin\MuseScore3.exe" -p "alternatefingering" --> no start
"C:\Program Files\MuseScore 3\bin\MuseScore3.exe" -p "alternatefingering.qml" --> MS crash
Regarding the settings, I managed to store test info within the MuseScore.ini file, but I cannot find a way to retrieve what's the size and position of the plugin's window (may it be a "dialog" plugin or a "dock" plugin).
The size is always the one at start (as defined in the "MuseScore" element) whatever is the actual size.
And the position cannot be accessed.

Well MS crashes too with the full path:
"C:\Program Files\MuseScore 3\bin\MuseScore3.exe" -p "D:\data\MuseScore3\Plugins\alternatefingering.qml"
"C:\Program Files\MuseScore 3\bin\MuseScore3.exe" -p D:\data\MuseScore3\Plugins\alternatefingering.qml

OK, would need to check that in a debugger

The -p plugin mode is intended to launch MuseScore without a GUI; run the provided plugin and close again.
Given that you're trying to run a dockable plugin and no GUI exists → crash.

Outch, yes, of course.
Although an error message might be nicer than a crash

The crashes now sounds logical.
Any other ways to open automatically a plugin at start ?

Not to my knowledge, no. For docking plugins MuseScore wraps them in a View object only when invoking them.
