the change looks good to me, but why some tests are being skipped in CI is what i am wondering here

@Ruchip16 thanks for reviewing, yeah some workflow are skipping which are waiting review for code owener

also one question: does this functionality need a setting? like Isn’t it just enough to check if the panel is open when saving, instead of adding a setting?

hi @techmannih I see there is some bits of code that calculates if the pannel is open before reloading... This solves the actual issue of the Visualizer opening on save because an incomplete "reload" implementation..
I think this will do the trick!

Yes, I think it's better to always reload the pannel, as long as it was already open.. without adding more settings.. As a user I don't see a reason to disable this (aside from the current bug/issue)

[ivangsa]

can you keep the code that checks if the visualizer is already open
and remove the user setting for this
and thanks for this feature it looks promising

Hi @Ruchip16 @ivangsa
I’ve removed the user setting as you suggested. It’s working fine now without the extra setting.
Thanks
