Maintain checked state after refresh

[mottosso]

Goal

When pressing reset, the state of checkboxes reverts to their defaults. That's annoying, and it would be better if they "remembered" their state across resets and sessions.

Implementation

During reset, store the state of each check and re-apply it when done. This can be entirely in-memory, within the same function in fact.

def reset(self):
  #1. store check state
  #2. reset models
  #3. fetch data
  #4. populate models
  #5. apply check state

What do you mean by a "session"?

[mottosso]

Showing QML from another host would open a new session. I'd like check state to be remembered when you later come back to the previous host.

As an implementation tip on that, you can use on_client_changed call to determine who is connecting and then store the state relative the connecting port.

def on_client_changed(self, port):
  self.state[port] = {"checkState": "here"}
  ...

This is also where we'd remember window position and size per host, but that's another issue and another time.
