Title: Suggestion: remember the console position.
Post by: orefa on December 09, 2005, 11:50:57 pm
By default Windows opens new windows at different positions (so they don't all overlap at the same place) so I find myself constantly repositioning the console window to the side. As a small convenience, would it be an easy thing to make console_runner.exe remember the last console position and always open it there by default? Certainly not a priority, just a nicety.

The problem is console_runner will not have where to store that setting.

However, it can be solved from Windows directly.
I hope you'll get the idea despite the Spanish OS. :P

I guess not by itself, no. The coordinates would need to be stored with all other CB settings. It's the IDE that would have to position the console. But then the IDE would also need to know when the console gets moved to update the settings, and I'm not sure how this detection would be programmed. It may be more involved than it's worth, this is not an important feature.

However, it can be solved from Windows directly.

Ah yes of course this works. Gracias! :)
