Wait - you had to ADD THAT?  It should already be there.  THAT is your problem.

Apparently not.   Plus, I have other stuff you don't have.  How can this be?

[Controls Guy]

I bet you have a .BAT file copying over top of your INI file???  Something is not letting Designer write/access that file.

Nope.  And the INI isn't getting overwritten anyway.   I check it and the changes made are still there over multiple executions of DMD.

You use different dialogs than I do.

So, answer these questions.
Q1. That entry was NOT there originally?
Q2. Then you added it manually, but it is still does NOT work correctly?
Q3. Look at the INI file again, and paste that section again.

A1.  Correct
A2.  Correct
A3.  Done.   Previous edits still there when I opened it.   Cut the entire section and replaced it with yours, even deleted the stuff I had that you did not.  No improvement.

Q3 - sorry, I meant can you paste it here?

[Controls Guy]

Q3 - sorry, I meant can you paste it here?

Oh, sorry.   Right now it matches yours.  The following was cut out of my current one.

Code: [Select]

[AutoLoadPlacementReset]
CSelectProjectDlg=1
CConnectToPLCDlg=1

But it does NOT work?

Resize the dialog, move it to another window.  It should remember the size and window position.  It's not just the column width/sorting.

Normally on the left side.   Tore it off, stuck it to the right side, the bottom, and floated it.   None of the three were persistent.

Do you have another PC that has Designer installed on?  Does it work there?
Or try a different version (2.6, 2.3).  I think we added that in 2.3.

Correct.

2.3, 2.5, 2.6, 2.7  all the same.    Here's the INI section from 2.6

Code: [Select]

[AutoLoadPlacementReset]
CConnectToPLCDlg=1
CCompPgmDlg=1
CBrowseFileSystemDlg=1
CInstructionPaletteDlg=1
CManagePgmCheckDlg=1
CMemoryEditorDialog=1

STRANGE!?!  No CSelectProjectDlg=1

THAT is why it is NOT being restored.

But then when you ADD it, it still does not work.

There's something strange going on.

See if your New Online dialog (CConnectToPLCDlg=1) remembers it's size/position/sort.  It is showing up in your INI file, so maybe that one is working?!?

OK, just installed in a brand spanking new VM (VMWare).    Exactly the same results.   Didn't check the INI file contents.   This was a virgin install on a brand new VM.  No earlier version of DMD had ever been installed.

I'll go check New Online and also check what's in that section of the INI file on the VM.    One thing, on the VM install, I unchecked everything but the program, which maybe that gives a more minimal install.   Is the initial INI file canned or might it be responsive to install options?

[Controls Guy]

New Online dialog position is remembered in normal install and also in VM.

This is all that got loaded in my minimal install in the VM.
