TL;DR
The state of the trains dialog box should persist when the dialog is closed and reopened.What ?
When the trains dialog box is used, closed, and reopened, the view should remain the same. Specifically, the search string, selected tab, and selected list item should remain the same.In the attachment, the search string is "plastic", the "Stations" tab is selected, and the "Drop plastic" list item is selected. Currently, if the dialog is closed and reopened, these UI inputs would reset to their defaults and the selection would no longer be visible. These UI inputs should instead remain the same, so the user sees the same view as before the dialog was closed.
Why ?
In my primary use case for the stations dialog, I want to examine all stations having a given name. The current interface makes me repeat the same UI inputs for each station.In this example there are 6 "Drop plastic" stations. I search for and select the station name I want. I click on the first station having that name. The dialog is closed to make the remote view visible. Then I reopen the dialog, search again, and select the station name again. I click on the second station having that name. I repeat this for all 6 stations.
I would like to reopen the dialog and simply click on the next station without repeating other UI inputs.
