Zugg Software :: View topic - [1.34] Status window layout does not save.

Posted: Fri Jul 06, 2007 2:13 pm

No matter what I do, I cannot get the layout to save the status window location.

The layout I've settled on it having one child window at the top right, the status window underneath it, and the main window on the left, taking up the majority of the screen.

Unfortunately, the status window always resets back to autohide, which upsets the sizing of the other window I have. This would barely make me think twice except that the size of my other window is particularly important (it displays an mxp-created ansi map that only displays correctly when a very specific size). So every time I log on, I have to spend a minute or two walking back and forth between two rooms resizing that window :(

So er, anyhow. Is this a bug or something specific to the status window that I'm missing? I've noticed a couple of other threads where people mention this happening for them too, but because they were asking a different question it seems to have been glossed over.

Hmm, I'm not sure why the status window would behave differently from the normal windows. The docked layout *should* save it just like any other window. But I'll look into this and add it to the bug list. Since the status window used to be a global window back in zMUD, there might be some compatibility code somewhere that is messed it up when docked.

It may just be defaulting to 'autohide.' Other windows don't have that as an option so.. meh. There is no point me speculating. Basically though, whereever the status window might be, checking "autohide" sends it to the nearest edge, so if the status window has autohide as a default on startup perhaps, this would override the layout file, if that helps at all.
