Storing current plugin window set when closing the main MuLab Plugin GUI

Hi!

Is it possible to save the set of open VST plugin windows when closing the main MuLab Plugin GUI, ensuring that they are automatically restored the next time the main GUI is opened? Or maybe to have an option to close the main window without closing VST plugin windows?

And one more question, not to start a new topic: Is it possible to send keyboard shortcuts to the host application (like Reaper) while a VST plugin window opened from MuLab Plugin is active? I find it a bit frustrating that I can't use the SPACE key for host play/stop control while such VST GUI is active.

Thank you so much!

That's somewhere on the wishlist.
I understand that for MuLab Plugin this is more necessary.

Technically a tricky topic, unfortunately.
It should be like this:
1) Plugins that don't process a key should let the key travel up to their parent window.
2) When the key reaches the MuLab plugin window and it's not a mapped shortcut key, thus unused by MuLab Plugin then MuLab Plugin let it travel up to the host window.

The second part is ok, but the first part depends on the plugin, and is outside MuLab's control.

MuTools,

Thank you so much for your explanation.

As to my first question: yes, I use Mulab as a plugin only (typically having around 20 to 30 instances in a single Reaper project) and it really would be so nice to have such a feature (including also saving the state of minimized windows along the bottom line of the MuLab project).

But I understand that it's not critical for most people, so I should be patient, of course.

Thank you once again for your brilliant work!
