Tracy, I'm on 4.11 on Windows 11 so I may have different options. Mine is under Edit/Preferences/Windows/Window Geometry and has a check box for "save window size and position". It works fine. However, if the icon to start Gnucash has the properties set for anything other than "Normal Window", they override the setting in Gnucash. If it is set to "Normal Window" then Gnucash works the way you would like. So my suggestion is to check how your Gnucash Icon is set. Hope that helps.
Thank You, Gyle McCollam Gyle McCollam gmccol...@live.com<mailto:gmccol...@gyleshomes.com> email ________________________________ From: gnucash-user <gnucash-user-bounces+gylemc=gmail....@gnucash.org> on behalf of Tracy <gnul...@vbot.org> Sent: Monday, July 11, 2022 7:10 PM To: gnucash-user@gnucash.org <gnucash-user@gnucash.org> Subject: [GNC] Saving window position (and size) Ubuntu 22.04 Gnucash 4.8 In the Edit > Settings dialog, under "Window" there is an option to save the current window size and position. However, this does not appear to be working fully - when I position GnuCash on the screen, then close it, then reopen it, it opens with the correct size, but not in the correct position - instead of where I left it, it opens with the upper left corner of the GnuCash window positioned at the upper left corner of the desktop (instead of having the GnuCash window positioned 2/3 of the way to the right on the desktop, as it was when I closed it). I have looked into the Wiki and found that the window position and size is stored in: $HOME/.local/share/gnucash/books/GnuTest.gnucash.gcm Closing GnuCash and editing this file (specifically changing the WindowPosition property in the [Window 1] section) does not change the startup position of the GnuCash window. Is there another place I should be looking for this, or am I completely confused and there is another setting in the Settings window that I should be looking at, or....? Note that this was an upgrade from Ubuntu 20.04 and GnuCash 3.<I don't remember the point version> so it is possible that there are files or settings that were left behind by the upgrade process that are interfering (if so, and someone can point me to a resource for cleaning up those settings, I would be happy to poke at it...) Thanks in advance for any information or assistance on this. _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
