How to use this skill

  1. Install the window-state plugin:

    tauri::Builder::default()
        .plugin(tauri_plugin_window_state::Builder::new()
            .with_state_flags(StateFlags::SIZE | StateFlags::POSITION | StateFlags::MAXIMIZED)
            .build())
    
  3. Configure capabilities in src-tauri/capabilities/default.json:
    { "permissions": ["window-state:allow-restore-state", "window-state:allow-save-window-state"] }
    
  4. State is restored automatically on app startup for each window
