Hello,
here is an example similar to yours that demonstrates how you can easily restore even sub-dialogs.
It also demonstrates a few techniques that are good practice and useful.
One big problem of your code, for instance, was that, if restoring the sub dialog would have
worked, pressing the button on the main dialog would've opened another dialog than the one
that was restored into the layout.
Also,
a) the subid does not need to be a plugin ID
b) for GeDialog.Restore(), the first argument must be the command plugins PLUGIN_ID,
same when opening the main and sub dialog.
The reason it didn't restore is that the first time RestoreLayout() was called, you create the
sub-dialog, but the second time, the block that forwards the restoring to the sub-dialog isn't
even executed because of
if self.subDialog is None: # False in the second call
# ...
Best,
