Copy confirmation window jump to its initial position

Steps to reproduce:
- Start copying files where you expect a confirmation dialogue multiple time
- The dialogue will appear in the top-left corner
- Drag it to the screen-centre and click "Skip"
- Next time it will appear at its initial location instead of the one where it was positioned by the user
Can its position be remembered and kept where user left it before clicking "Skip" or "Overwrite"?

You must be copying in the backgound (AlwaysCopyInBackground=1 in wincmd.ini) ?
Anyway, it would be nice if the Confirmation dialog could remember its position (at least for the current copy process), both for copying in the foreground and in the background

With
autorun.wdx it’s easy to do. Example for TC x32:
Code: Select all
LoadLibrary Plugins\Autorun_ModifyDialogs.dll
# ....
# Saving the position of the confirmation dialog when copying/moving
AddDialog /SAVE:3 TOverWriteForm
# ....
ModifyDialogs
This also applies to
many other dialogues, which also don't preserve either the position or the size. I have already given a link
here.

I don't consider this a bug, so I'm moving it to the suggestions forum.
