~~Figured it out!~~ After typing it out above I realized RestoreLayout() was misspelled. Thank you guys for all the help!

*Edit there is a new problem the setup:

    def Restore(self, pluginid, secref) :
        if secref['subid'] == 1:
            print "Color"
            return self.RB_ColorDLG.Restore(pluginid,secref)
        if secref['subid'] == 2:
            print "Temp"
            return self.RB_TempDLG.Restore(pluginid,secref)
        else:
            print "Main"
            return super(BuddyDialog, self).Restore(pluginid,secref)

This causes cinema to crash. I will restore the layout but if you launch the sub dialog again everything locks up. This happens with the Example as well. Confused

Hi Shawn, I can reproduce the problems you have described. The Example I posted worked though,
but funnily broke after a few more times testing it. I'll have to talk to a developer on this, I am pretty
sure this is a bug. Especially this message is

Traceback (most recent call last) :
File "'restore-sub-dialog.pyp'", line 57, in CreateLayout
SystemError: error return without exception set

Best,

It seems to work just fine for me. No errors or problems at all.
Maybe you're trying to do something different than I'm doing?

Here is a complete example that works fine for me in R13.
Save it as a .pyp file and put it in your plugins folder.
The main dialog has buttons to open two other dialogs. And a button that will change the checkbox gizmo in dilaog1.
All three dialogs can be docked into the UI and saved in a custom layout.

#This is an example of a GeDialog plugin that opens three dialogs  
#It also allows all three dialogs to be docked and saved in a custom layout
