square65 Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 (edited) Scite doesn't save its window position when you close it. How do I get it to? I read that you can add the line save.position To the global settings file but I don't know where that file is. I scanned my hard drive for a SciteGlobal.* but didn't find anything. Also, I opened the file manually, via Scite itself and added the line in question and it changed nothing. Also tried save.position = 1 and save.position = true, save.position 1, and save.position true. No dice.

jaberwacky Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Open SciTE, click Options, then click Open User Options File, then paste this in there: save.position=1. That should do it, if not then there is another issue elsewhere.

square65 Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share Posted February 18, 2015 (edited) That is one of the things I tried initially and it did not work. What could the issue be then? I haven't messed with any settings. Installed Scite to the default directory. Have a very standard Windows 7 installation. I should mention. The retarded default opening dimensions (squeezed vertically to maybe 100 pixels wide and 75% of the monitor's height tall are the state it was put in once by a script I wrote going haywire and clicking and dragging all over my desktop. But why should that now be the only state it can possibly be in when I open it? Funny thing is that script I wrote, which has about 1000 lines of code now is far more robust than Scite itself, given this annoyance.

jaberwacky Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 (edited) Global options or Local options? There is a difference. If you put save.position=1 above save.position=0 then the one that is below will take precedence. Make sure that isn't the case. Have you tried to manually change the size and position of the SciTE window? Check out these options and tell us what they are: position.left position.top position.width position.height Edited February 18, 2015 by jaberwacky Helpful Posts and Websites: AutoIt3 Variables and Function Parameters MHz | AutoIt Wiki | Using the GUIToolTip UDF BrewManNH | Can't find what you're looking for on the Forum?

square65 Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share Posted February 18, 2015 Well I've been maximizing, minimizing, and moving to left half of monitor with windows hotkeys. I just dragged it to resize it and that worked. Asinine. To say the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
