Window positions are not remembered in PgS for AOS (v4 and v5), even though,
in the menu, there exists a point sth. like "remeber windows positions".
After quitting and restarting PgS, all additionally oppend windows appear at
the center of the screen. Toolbar window is always in the upper left corner
of the screen.

Can somebody confirm this issue?

greetings,
Tom

the newer versions of pgs which use MUI are using mui to remember the window
position. the next beta will forward the "remember windows positions"
correctly to MUI deron once told.

this i wrote some weeks ago:
(http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/PageStreamSupport/message/20691)

quote:
---------------------------------
using os4 the default mui setting is that there is shown a little extra
button in the window title bar on the right. it looks like a little arrow
with a bar under it. (i'm not at my amiga now - so just trying to
remember).
if you click it a popup menu is opened where you can snapshot. (this is what
i meant with "pagestream window menu" - it is acually the "pagestream
window mui menu" or whatever.)
if this little button is NOT there, just start the mui prefs from workbench.
there you can define which buttons in the window title should be visible.
there even is a single "snapshot" icon. but i like the popup menu much more
as you have more to select...

For Amiga 4.1.5.6 the above is not the case. For the Toolbox (vertical by
default) open the menu item
File -> Preferences... -> Toolbox
and then set the 'Format' entry to your choice. I use "Horizontal strip". Then
move it to the position you want. Then move the Toolbar to the position you
want. Finally in the 'Preferences' window, click 'Save' and the positions are
remembered.

For 5.0.3.3, the Toolbar will stay where I place it (click 'Save' as above) but
the Toolbox is always vertical and hidden under the Toolbar. You can pull the
Toolbox to the position you want by depressing
Ctrl+Left-Amiga !thanks Michael Merkel
and then grabing the Toolbox with the mouse and dragging it to a suitable
location. However I cannot get PageStream5 to remember where I want the
Toolbox. You can alter the Toolbox so that it is a "Horizontal strip" but then
next time I open PageStream5 it is back in its awkward location and vertical.
