Preferences page partially off-screen - cannot move it

Post by krotsky »

I run XYPlorer on a higher resolution monitor. After selecting F9, the preferences page appears on my lower resolution monitor but shows only part of the page.
The left of the page is off-screen, as is the top of the page where I expect to be able to left-click and drag the page to make it fully visible.

How do I make the page fully visible?

Execute this script

Code: Select all

setkey "0", "ConfigLeft", "Settings";
    setkey "0", "ConfigTop", "Settings";
    exit "sr";

Thanks highend.

This is what I tried:
Scripting->Try Script->[added script]->OK
F9 but no change.
Scripting->Run Script->OK
F9 still no change.

CODE: SELECT ALL .. Is this when I put the cursor at the disk or folder I want to make the script for,
then Edit->Select->Select All, then run the script for that disk/folder?

Cheers

XY did restart after doing this?

What is the screen resolution of that monitor where the config appears on?

No. Nothing showed/changed. I had to click on the XYplorer page and then F9 to see the off-screen page.

The F9 screen resolution is 1680 x 1050. The XYplorer screen is 1920 x 1080.

Then you didn't execute that script...

Exit XY and set those values manually...

In the .ini file, I deleted the Runscript that I had created, then changed the negative values of ConfigLeft and ConfigTop to 0.

Working perfectly now.

Thanks for the report. The top should be always visible. I'll check that.

Hmm, looking at the code I don't see a way how the top position could become negative (= beyond the top margin of the monitor). When it happens again, could you make a screenshot? It might give me an idea about what's going on.
