Feature request for you Argent77-
I am by no means a power user, but I'm editing enough files in separate windows that it would be nice if NI remembered the location/size of new windows across a given instance of the program.
Current behavior: open a file in a new window, that new window's size and position is inherited from the NI main window. Resize that window, open another new window and the new window inherits its size and position from the NI main window. Close one new window, open another, and the newest windows' size and location is the same as the others: inherited from the NI main window.
Requested behavior: after launching NI, the first file opened in a new window inherits its size and location from the NI main window. IF that newly opened window's location and/or size is changed, the next file opened in a new window inherits the previous window's size/location. If the original "new window" is closed, files opened in new windows will continue to use the modified location/size, until another new window's location/dimensions are altered.
Why do I care? Well, the whole point of working in multiple windows is to have access to more information at once. But opening a new window such that it's roughly the same size and shape as NI makes that difficult. NI makes sense to run as a large window due to the amount of information contained within it, but often times new windows make sense to be much smaller. so you can see both NI's main and the new satellites at once.
I realize this is the second request I've given you in a matter of days, apologies!
edit: it would also be handy if, when editing .WMP files like worldmap.wmp, the edited location of icons would be shown on the map *before* saving the .wmp file. Right now the "fast" way to visualize changes to icon X, Y positions on the .WMP is to save the file and browse away/back to it see the icon's location update. If we could see the icon move prior to saving, it would make tweaking these things much more friendly.
