I have always found that odd. Most windows remember their position when
closed/saved. Rev stack windows do not.

stacks save their position and size into themselves when you save them, be it
via the save menu or by any other means. Stacks that are a standalone can't
save themselves. Other programs use setting files or the registry to save
their window size and positioning between launches.

OK, I understand. It sounds like I should be specific about the
default position where I want each of my windows to appear and then
come up with a scheme for the standalone that saves the position of
each window when it's closed. I already have a scheme in place to

Hi Peter,
You might want to consider something else at the same time. There is a great

Not just screen size, but also the number of screens. If you do decide to
manage the window locations, you may want to have a

Good point. I definitely hadn't thought of the multi-screen
possibility. Sounds like maybe I should have a Remember window
positions preference. If Yes, then windows will always open at their
last know position and if No, they'll always open at whatever default
location I assign to
yes, same problem as with the built in window-position saving :)

Yup - forget about all that - I was writing without thinking. Of course
window positions are preserved within a 'session' and lost between sessions
unless you either (a) store the location externally or (b) the stacks you
are opening are independent of the application stack (in which case you can
