[REQ] Autosave dialog positions

Post by *StickyNomad »

Some dialogs (like the Multirename-Tool, Synchronize directories, compare Files or the CD-Tree) automatically save their
window positions, which I find very useful.

I would like it if the following dialogs had this autosave-behaviour, too:
- cm_SrcUserDef (Select user type)
- cm_FtpConnect (Connect to FTP)
- cm_FtpNew (New FTP connection)
- cm_OpenTransferManager
- did I miss one...?

Reason:
when invoking one of the above dialogs with a toolbar-button, i'd like the possibility to have the according
dialog opened near the position of this button so that it pops up right under my mousepointer.

If there's big programming business involved with this feature, forget it. But if not, please consider
implementing it. I think this feature could make handling TC even a little bit more comfortable than it is already and
could save some mouse-miles.

Saving window postions is always very nifty, I fully support it.

Unfortunately one entry in history.txt makes me believe that there is not much interest in a change...

hmm... sounds not very promising. But maybe some other users will also find it useful to have the positions of some often-used dialogs saved. I think there should be no big programming effort necessary to acheive this, so maybe in some later release, Mr Ghisler?
