1. Yes, the SceneView module is broken due to changes related to Qt5 and QtWebEngine ([see here](https://www.slicer.org/wiki/Documentation/Labs/Qt5-and-VTK8#Slicer))

Overall, there is [some debate](https://discourse.slicer.org/t/what-scene-views-are-supposed-to-do/497/16) about what to do with SceneViews - the current design isn’t working but nobody has come up with something useful but simpler.

1. @hherhold if you want to just save and restore camera views that would be a nicely defined project (some people use the term “lookmarks” for saved views). The existing SceneViews tries to be more ambitious and save a lot of state and that sometimes causes problems in save/restore.
