#568 Window Location, Inconsistant, Not Saved

[Thomas Vanon]

The location of PeaZip's newly opened windows is very inconsistant. It also doesn't save or remember location of any of its windows. (It seems to remember size fine.) For example: The app main window, after centered and closed, always opens way off center (left or top left of screen); the archive process window opens way off center (also left or top left), etc. Is this a bug? (I couldn't seem to control it with any settings in "conf.txt" file either.) Is it possible to better control the window behavior, for example center them all, remember location of all?

I can confirm a bug in saving the position and size of the wrapper window showing compression/extraction tasks, it will be fixed in next release.

The position of main window is reset (in current version) if over 1024 px from top or more than 768 px from the left, this was a legacy mechanism from early versions and it is no longer fit to current screen resolutions.
I've fixed this issue too for next release - position will be reset only if over current screen width or height, which also fits better PeaZip Portable which can be used on different machines with different screen resolutions.

Positions of other windows (password, search dialog, etc) is not saved and always starts centered, so it should work fine as is.

Thank you, Mr. Tani! I very much appreciate your effort to figure this problem out (or even read my ticket, to be honest), and it seems you did indeed! That's awesome. And thanks for PeaZip, which I've been enjoying very much virtually daily (has overtaken 7-Zip for me). Now let me go find the donate link. :)
