 Posted: Sat May 11, 2024 3:35 pm Post subject: How do I get CE to NEVER save window positions, ever? |
 |
|
Recently I had an issue with AA windows being off the screen and that was mostly solved in that thread, but my issue has expanded to the point where I need a more intense solution. I need to make it so CE absolutely NEVER saves window positions. I noticed that when I open CE for the first time after installing, there's never confusion of where the window is. Everything appears right in view. This is how I need it to start every time, but without doing a fresh install and without losing other settings.
I do not want CE to remember ANY window positions for ANY of my own CE windows during my sessions. This also applies to the main CE window. How do I just disable CE's saving of all window positions without losing or resetting any other CE settings?
Clarification: The issue is coming from my own window positions somehow being saved wrong. This is not a setting coming from a 3rd party. I don't need to reset existing window positions, I only need CE to stop saving my window positions in the future so they always open in the default location please.

CE >> Setting >> General Settings >> Save windows Position (Checked false)
Save setting, reload CE ..

| Oh wow thanks! I have no idea how I missed that built in setting. I was thinking this would be much harder. Ha!

Actually, something different can be tried;
I think that a general position can be determined to open all other window positions during the CE opening, next to the fetus -30 left and +30 Top.
Tell me again if you think it would be better than the solution in settings, let's try this idea.

That sounds like a good idea. Yes I'd be interested in trying that to see if it's better than the settings toggle. But would it be possible to make it appear in the lower right corner instead? I know it's usually harder to calculate the lower right position due to different resolutions, etc... but if possible the lower right would be best for me.

Paste this into a lua file and drop it into the CE >> autorun folder and test it.
| Code: | function addNicePanels(form)
form.Left = MainForm.Left + 150
form.Top = MainForm.Top + 50
end
function postFrm1()
addNicePanels(getMemoryViewForm())
addNicePanels(getSettingsForm())
addNicePanels(getLuaEngine())
for i=0,getFormCount()-1 do
local formClassName = getForm(i).ClassName
if getForm(i).Name~="MainForm" then
addNicePanels(getForm(i))
--print(getForm(i).Name)
end
end
end
postFrm1()
registerFormAddNotification(function()
local t=createTimer()
t.Interval = 1
t.OnTimer = function (timer)
postFrm1()
timer.destroy()
end
end) |

With Autorun... If I have save window positions on, this will always move the windows over to the lower right of where the last position was. So for example each time, it will be a little further right and down, more and more repeatedly because the script keeps re-activating again if I open any of those targeted windows while I'm using CE. If I have save window positions off, this will always move a little bit to the lower right of the center of the screen, but if I have save window positions off there would be less reason to use the script because I wouldn't need to "rescue" any windows that got remembered offscreen.
Instead of doing Autorun, I'm trying to change it into an AA script so I can just use it if I happen to need it, and only use it once.
Here is the current version I'm working with, without the add notification so it only runs once. I also added the main form to it so if CE main window appears offscreen I can ctrl+o the CT and just hotkey this script to bring the window in.
| Code: | [ENABLE]
{$lua}
function addNicePanels(form)
form.Left = MainForm.Left + 150
form.Top = MainForm.Top + 50
end
function postFrm1()
addNicePanels(getMemoryViewForm())
addNicePanels(getSettingsForm())
addNicePanels(getLuaEngine())
addNicePanels(getMainForm())
for i=0,getFormCount()-1 do
local formClassName = getForm(i).ClassName
if getForm(i).Name~="MainForm" then
addNicePanels(getForm(i))
end
end
end
postFrm1()

Put this code in the atutorun folder and the code will not activate unless you press the relevant key.
| Code: | function addNicePanels(form)
form.Left = MainForm.Left + 150
form.Top = MainForm.Top + 50
end
function postFrm1()
addNicePanels(getMemoryViewForm())
addNicePanels(getSettingsForm())
addNicePanels(getLuaEngine())
addNicePanels(getMainForm())
for i=0,getFormCount()-1 do
local formClassName = getForm(i).ClassName
if getForm(i).Name~="MainForm" then
addNicePanels(getForm(i))
end
end
end
if niceKy1 then niceKy1.Destroy() niceKy1=nil end
niceKy1=createHotkey(postFrm1, VK_LCONTROL,VK_O) -- Ctrl+O |
Also, since CE does not record window positions, it seems to be good to open it in the middle of the screen.
At least it opens in a place visible to windows and on the relevant screen.
