If you are familiar with Adobe applications like Illustrator, Photoshop or InDesign, then you may have an idea of what I mean. Or perhaps you have used system-level utilities like Moom, Divvy, Shiftit, GridMove or WindowTidy. The idea is that you can save the position of one or more of your windows, including IDE palettes and so on, as a named set. Then you can switch back to those positions when you select that set again. So, for example, one might have a window layout for working on iPhone apps and another for tablet apps... or one for a dual monitor setup vs. a single monitor setup... or for working on server scripts... or all of the above. I switch back and forth between my laptop on its own, and my laptop open and next to a second monitor, so this would be really useful. Firstly: does anyone know of an existing LC plugin like this? And of course: is anyone else interested in a plugin like this?

Hi Scott, I put the script in my stack script and it continued to show the answer dialog in the center of the screen. So I replaced llc with “112,110” and nothing changed. Then I added put the openStacks into the mouseUp handler where the answer dialog is called from. If it is at the very beginning of the handler it puts the open stacks in the message box.

Re: Window manager plugin?
I believe you. I needed it for The Big Project, which already has a suspendStack handler, and I was trying to integrate your part. There's a backscript too with a few thousand lines of code that traps most system messages. I never bothered to figure out why it didn't work, I just plugged in my custom handler because it doesn't rely on any system messages. Your way is cleaner but I needed a hack.

Re: Window manager plugin?
If I change the answer line to this it works: answer warning pString with pBtn1 and pBtn2 If you want a more flexible handler that answers with regular, warning, or info icons, then you'd need to pass that in a parameter and branch the handler depending on the type. I wasn't able to get it to compile with this: answer pType pString with pBtn1 and pBtn2 so you'd need to do: on answerWithLoc pType,pString,pBtn1,pBtn2 set the vis of stack answer dialog to false switch pType case warning answer warning pString with pBtn1 and pBtn2 break case info answer info pString with pBtn1 and pBtn2 break default answer pString with pBtn1 and pBtn2 end switch set the loc of stack answer dialog to the loc of this stack set the vis of stack answer dialog to true end answerWithLoc On 8/23/2014, 1:21 PM, JB wrote: Thanks, Jacque.

Re: Window manager plugin?
Hi Charles, I made a plug-in (donationware) which makes sure that windows open inside a visible screen rect and not off-screen. I could extend it and make it remember window positions. -- Economy-x-Talk Consultancy and Software Engineering http://economy-x-talk.com Download Color Converter at http://www.color-converter.com Op 23-aug-2014, om 2:04 heeft Charles E Buchwald het volgende geschreven: Hi List Folks, I've been thinking about making a plugin that manages window positions or window layouts. If you are familiar with Adobe applications like Illustrator, Photoshop or InDesign, then you may have an idea of what I mean. Or perhaps you have used system-level utilities like Moom, Divvy, Shiftit, GridMove or WindowTidy. The idea is that you can save the position of one or more of your windows, including IDE palettes and so on, as a named set. Then you can switch back to those positions when you select that set again. So, for example, one might have a window layout for working on iPhone apps and another for tablet apps... or one for a dual monitor setup vs. a single monitor setup... or for working on server scripts... or all of the above. I switch back and forth between my laptop on its own, and my laptop open and next to a second monitor, so this would be really useful. Firstly: does anyone know of an existing LC plugin like this? And of course: is anyone else interested in a plugin like this?
