Well, I can think of applications that have a preference for which *screen* to open a window on (fullscreen video output for instance) but not one with a preference for specifying x, y, w, & h of a window to open. This kind of geometry setting can also be fragile as you change the amount of monitors in your setup, etc. I would therefore argue this is not a basic setting and it's also not trivial to try to divine what settings all users *might* want and then add a UI for them. OTOH if you have a working technical solution, feel free to make a PR to the Github repo for review.
IOhannes' solution is by far the best: If you want to run some TCL to customize things, then do so *and* without having to modify Pd tcl files. :) > On Apr 15, 2021, at 12:00 PM, pd-list-requ...@lists.iem.at wrote: > > Date: Wed, 14 Apr 2021 15:57:30 +0000 > From: Philip Stone <pkst...@ucdavis.edu <mailto:pkst...@ucdavis.edu>> > To: "pd-list@lists.iem.at <mailto:pd-list@lists.iem.at>" > <pd-list@lists.iem.at <mailto:pd-list@lists.iem.at>> > Subject: Re: [PD] size and position of PD window > Message-ID: > > <byapr08mb55892ad8da556b7178d2b745a7...@byapr08mb5589.namprd08.prod.outlook.com > > <mailto:byapr08mb55892ad8da556b7178d2b745a7...@byapr08mb5589.namprd08.prod.outlook.com>> > > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" > > Why?
