Message-pane always resizes to default size after restart!

Post by x3po »

I attached the Message-pane to the bottom of WB. I sized it to almost half of the screen, when visible.
So if i user "find all", i have enough space for a good overview over my search results.
Unfortunately i have to resize that pane after every restart of WB.
It would be nice, if WB would save the position and sizes as well as the other panes.

Did you try saving your layout under "View->Save Layout..." (and overwrite Default with your settings) ?

I agree this is an important issue. I've posted a similar issue about resizing windows here: Remember & Restore - File Sizes & Placement, and here: My 14 Ultimate Feature Requests . WeBuilder 9.5.2.106

Are there any plans to fix this in v2010?
This is by far the most annoying thing for me. I really appreciate, if windows stay where i place them! :wink:

It would be great, if those pane-settings would also be saved in the layouts.

Hi,

Not sure why, but the "Messages" pane does keep its size on our Development PC.
Just tested this with both versions 2010 and also with the one in development - 2011.
Maybe you can give some more details about how to reproduce this.

Thanks!

The main application window does seem to open to the same height and width. However, the file windows (the ones you select with the tabs) open back up in Full-Screen within the application window. So if I have them sized and organized in a particular way, those settings are lost. Also, on my 3-monitor (or 2-monitor) system, the application window does not remember which monitor it was in when closed.

Thank you, I will write these suggestions down.
Also, the problem what you have mentioned about the monitors is registered.

Also, i'd like to have the "search/replace"- or "find in files"-dialouges in the upper right corner.
if i move them there and close the window and reopen it, it stays there until i close down and restart webuilder.
it would be great, if those flying windows also would save its position.
