XYCopy initial window position out of view port

Post by jupe »

This has been a longstanding niggle that has been around since I started using XYplorer, the XYCopy window opens with approx 10% of the right hand side of the window off screen, there doesn't seem to be anywhere the window position is saved because if I move it within a session it may then open next time completely visible but on subsequent fresh launch it will always launch originally with the right hand side out of view. I am running 120dpi which I assume is relevant, and single screen. I will attach a screenshot for whatever it may be worth.

Strange. Cannot reproduce (tested 120 dpi). The position of this window is remembered, and this seems to work well in foreground and background file operations. Totally out of ideas... :veryconfused:

These are the coords (example from my current INI) for this dialog in the INI file, plus some offset (usually = 0, see change log v10.50.0004 - 2011-10-28 11:29) for cascading any multiple windows:

Code: Select all

PDLeft=265
PDTop=163
ProgressOffset=0
What values do you have here?

Well it is the strangest thing, because the dialog pos has never saved for me between sessions so I never bothered checking the ini file, anyway now you have given me those ini keys I have manually altered them it seems to be working ok now and updating them.

Anyway consider this case closed, sorry to waste your time, but here were my values since you asked.

Code: Select all

PDLeft=966
PDTop=231
ProgressOffset=0

You always do *background* copying?

I cannot reproduce the problem. When I drag the window to some position this position is remembered and saved to INI, be it foreground or background.

However, I saw that a 50 pixel overlap out of view port was allowed (I was feeling generous that day). This will be stopped. Next beta that dialog will be fully visible whatever you do.
