I will do this... I just wanted to avoid adding much of these
variables, as the class is becoming larger and larger...

That's what I am doing currently, I stripped out other stuff in the
class initialization:

MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent) :
	QMainWindow(parent),
	m_ui(new Ui::MainWindow),
{
	m_ui->setupUi(this);

	QSettings settings;
	if(settings.contains("mainwindow/geometry"))
		restoreGeometry(settings.value("mainwindow/geometry").toByteArray());
	if(settings.contains("mainwindow/state"))
	{
		restoreState(settings.value("mainwindow/state").toByteArray());
	}
}
