Is it possible to save screen windows layout?

Post by d2s »

When I quit the app, when I restart it, the "Add Singer" window placement has gone to some kind of default.

Maybe I missed this in the settings somewhere...

Thank you.

Please click "Use current position" button in File -> Settings -> Display to do this.

I laid out the windows where I like to use them, went to the settings and clicked the box as instructed.

I then closed out of the app and relaunched it. The add singer window defaulted to it's previous (default upon launch) position.

I am not trying to set a fixed position for the 2nd screen/lyric window, I am trying to set a fixed position for the "Add Singer" window.

I do appreciate your assistance, Adam.

Eh, I just went into the registry and set the values. No problem, you just have to set legal values...

This was very helpful!! I've been trying to get the add singer window to stay where I want it and not popup where it wants to be!

Thanks for the clarification, and I appreciate your patience!

It sounds like the app isn’t retaining the position of the “Add Singer” window after relaunch, even though you’ve enabled the option to save window positions.

Just to confirm:

The setting you checked—was it something like “Remember window layout” or “Save window positions on exit”?

If so, it's possible that this setting only applies to the main interface or certain windows (like the 2nd screen/lyrics), but not to pop-up or modal windows like “Add Singer.”

Here are a few steps you might try:

Try repositioning the Add Singer window, then close it (just that window, not the whole app), and then reopen it to see if it remembers.

If that doesn’t work, it may be a limitation of the app—some programs don’t save the position of certain windows.

As a workaround, you might also check if the app stores window positions in a config file. If you let me know what app you're using, I can look further into it.
