Is there a way to have Code::blocks 16.01 remember the initial window size each time it is started? Because each time I start it from a Putty terminal on my Windows 7 Professional desktop, it appears taking up both of my dual monitors. Not quite full screen, but close.
I've checked the Settings->Environment->Layout Options:Save/restore editor layout, as that seemed most obvious, but it doesn't change anything. It's very frustrating to have to resize the window each time I launch it. :-\
Thanks,
Tom

Never used this option; but, did you try.
"settings" -> "Environment"
View: Enhanced Multi Monitor dialog placement
Edit: Also, try the sub option both on and off

Thanks for the reply. The option you mentioned was not checked when I originally wrote the topic. So I did try to enable it. No luck, nothing changes. I tried both sub-options listed also. Each time I checked the sub-option, the "Environment Settings" dialog would snap to the exact center of my desktop (which spans two monitors). But when I quit and re-started, the CodeBlocks main dialog was in the same place, spanning both of my monitors, nearly full screen but not quite.
Where would I find where the settings are saved? At first I wondered if they were being saved, but when I disabled and then enable the option to turn off the splash screen, it correctly read the setting on startup. But I can't find a location where they are saved. Is there a setting for window size and position? Maybe I can manually configure it to do what I want.
Thanks,
Tom
