Testers wanted: saving window position

[carl]

Hi all,

Here are some links

https://dcpomatic.com/build/1575-save-windows/39a0181

to DCP-o-matic builds that have a new feature - the position and size of most of the windows in the applications should be saved and restored when you re-start the software. This is a slightly risky feature, and the code is quite fiddly to accommodate differences between platforms, so I would appreciate any testing. Leave a message in the thread with your experiences, if you try it out!

If there isn't a link to a build for your preferred platform, let me know and I can provide one.

We have these issues with player when e.g. in dual screen / full screen configurations sometimes the application menus are not accessible. Wondering also what happens when DCP-o-matic is configured to dual screen, but then the second screen is missing on startup, as e.g. with notebooks.

Wondering wether there could be an easy way to reset display settings to default - e.g. when the application is started with a certain key pressed.

Editing preferences is not available in the player and clicking on it closes the player without any message.

Ouch, good catch - thanks. I'll make some fixed builds.

I updated the link above so that the crash should be fixed.

Window position handling is fine. Does player output picture position has dependency to the language settings? In Farsi, picture is shifted to the right side of the screen, so we see half of the picture.
