Please advise :-) Thank you!

I fixed the bug from line 341:
aug 26 07:19:40 tuxedo-enos kwin_wayland[3306]: file:///home/david/.local/share/kwin/scripts/rememberwindowpositions/contents/ui/main.qml:341: TypeError: Value is undefined and could not be converted to an object

I will include it in next release, hopefully on Friday or some time next week. Let's hope that is what was causing the issue.

It is not finding the window name, so it should instead wait and try restoring after name change or timeout.

@rxappdev Great, thank you! Fyi, I guess that explains why i sometimes get the error, and other times it just works fine. Probably a "timing" issue then... :-)
