Hi, I use a similar set-up dual monitors and that would be a nice to have feature in Artemis. :-)

Certainly, the other scientists I've gotten to use Artemis locally don't share this setup. My request is that the developers keep in mind the location where the user placed the last instance of a window when opening new windows of a similar type. This is not an issue when windows are simply hidden upon close. The systems I use when working with Artemis have a dual-monitor setup. Because Artemis tends to open dialogs in a screen-centered position rather than relative to the parent or application window, they are always nicely split by the borders between the two monitor screens and must be dragged to the viewable area of one monitor or the other in order to be sensible. For example, there are many activities in using the application where I sequentially open a large number of windows to look at the information for some features or compare them. In my own java applications I usually track placement with a rectangle so that any user-invoked resizing is not lost either. A Point marking the current window origin would work nicely as well but I just track the bounds rectangles so I can reuse a single code snippet to place the windows. This may not affect enough users to be worth any coding time. Just sharing an "I wish..." that frequently runs through my mind when working with Artemis. :o) -=Brooke _______________________________________________ Artemis-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.sanger.ac.uk/mailman/listinfo/artemis-users _______________________________________________ Artemis-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.sanger.ac.uk/mailman/listinfo/artemis-users
