I was really tired last night. Sorry. The nightly build runs at midnight in Arizona, USA. Which is about 3am my time, but about 9am in Europe.<div><br></div><div>If you look in the folder that holds desktop.properties (on linux this should be ~/.jsword) you will have a file named:</div><div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal 'Lucida Grande'; ">org.crosswire.common.swing.desktop.LayoutPersistence.properties</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal 'Lucida Grande'; ">If it is not there, you were too eager. If you delete this file, you can test again.</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal 'Lucida Grande'; "><br></div></div><div>Would you mind trying again?</div><div><br></div><div>You should notice that the first time you run it, the program will be 75% the screen size and centered. When you close the program it will write out the current size and position to the LayoutPersistence.properties file.</div><div><br></div><div>When you subsequently start the program, it will use this information to size and position the window.</div><div><br></div><div>The other test I'm going to try is to see how it works with Portable BibleDesktop (<a href="http://www.crosswire.org/~dmsmith/bd)">www.crosswire.org/~dmsmith/bd)</a>. This is not released yet, but I was hoping to do so this release. The purpose of Portable BD is that one runs BD on a USB stick on whatever computer the user has access to.</div><div><br></div><div>The test would be to place the app at a reasonable size on a big monitor but located on the right and bottom part of the screen. And then open it up on a much smaller screen.</div><div><br></div><div>In Christ's Service,</div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>DM<br></div><div><br><div><div>On Jul 24, 2008, at 11:22 PM, DM Smith wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div>I have checked in Adam Thomas' code to persist the position and size <br>of the main BibleDesktop window.
