Layer tree problem after refreshing

[nono22170]

Hello,

I am a French apprentice currently working on QWC.
I think I found a bug when refreshing (F5) my web page after adding layers from the layer catalog.
Before refreshing :

After refreshing :

For my apprenticeship, I will be working on a solution for this issue over the next weeks.
I started to work on a solution to add a parameter in the URL. Thanks to this new parameter, when I load my page, it will fetch the WMS layers and get the layer tree again. For that, I modified themes.js in qwc2/reducers and LayerCatalogWidget.jsx in qwc2/components/widgets.

Maybe someone has another solution for this problem ?

Thank you

Hi

Yes this is a known limitation that the group hierarchy is lost when refreshing via F5 (as opposed to restoring from a full permalink). I'm open to solutions to also restore the group hierarchy from the URL, however I see this as a pretty complex problem to solve generally.
