MC does not remember Window Position/Size

[janicoma]

Hi happy users,

I like MC, after installing it today I am just setting everything up.

If I restart the window is somewhere in the middle of the screen. Other windows of Office, Windows Explorer etc. are stored. I have Win 11 64bit not portable Version.
Config files are writable, are changed and also the registry.

Obviously, this position is stored in the config-files. So 3 questions.

1.) Does MC generally not store the window size and position?
2.) is there a command line parameter I can use?
3.) can I hard store the X and Y coordinates of the window somewhere in the config files?

Help is appreciated,
Good day,
Tom

Last Windows position is stored.
It is not stored on the normal configuration since it is not information that is user configured.
For installed version in the registry for portable in the registry mirror files (.ini)

Not sure why it is not saved for you. I cannot replicate that, If you are using some sort of sandboxing it may clean out the registry between runs..

I noticed this anomaly:

Suppose I rip a series of DVDs with WinX DVD Ripper.
To do this, I open MC which displays the open panels, let's say A and B.

To rip my DVDs, I change panels for example to C and D,
I run WinX DVD Ripper to extract a whole series of videos from my DVD,
and I ask Win DVD Ripper to turn off my Computer once its task is finished
because I have to be away...

When I return, or the next day, when I turn my computer back on,
when I open MC it does so with panels A and B and not C and D.
because MC was closed with the computer and not by leaving MC...

To overcome this malfunction, while ripping my DVD, I close MC and reopen it...
and the problem is solved.

Hoping to have been useful to Mathias and everyone.
