cube Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 (edited) With the removal of the Tools menu, has the Reset Window Positions option been lost or is it hiding somewhere else? Edited December 9, 2014 by cube Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Eram Reputo Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Resetting the position of the Utility Windows is a manual job now I told Rick users would miss that feature! 2 ebook: Mastering Paint.NET | resources: Plugin Index | Stereogram Tut | proud supporter of Codelab plugins: EER's Plugin Pack | Planetoid | StickMan | WhichSymbol+ | Dr Scott's Markup Renderer | CSV Filetype | dwarf horde plugins: Plugin Browser | ShapeMaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toe_head2001 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 My I suggest that this feature be added back as just a keyboard shortcut.... as to avoid the UI clutter. Just my two cents; do what you want. (September 25th, 2023) Sorry about any broken images in my posts. I am aware of the issue.

null54 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 .... as to avoid the UI clutter. That is what the settings dialog is for.

toe_head2001 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 That is what the settings dialog is for. I hope you're aren't suggesting the idea that someone would need to open up the settings dialog to access a 'reset window locations' function. I say keep the settings dialog for settings... and nothing else. Again, just my two cents; do what you want. (September 25th, 2023) Sorry about any broken images in my posts. I am aware of the issue.

Cc4FuzzyHuggles Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 (edited) I would like it in the settings. I feel the preset child-window locations is a default setting for those windows. I also feel the location and positioning of the child windows counts as being part of paint.net's “User Interface” (see settings). There aren't a lot of settings for paint.net's UI, but a child-window location setting would be nice, even if it's only a setting to set them back to their default locations. For some other ideas, it might also be cool to have other settings for the child-windows, such as locking them in place (some people may not want them to be drag-able, they might prefer a locked UI), and a save/load work space feature would be neat (this is a feature available in other programs). There could also be a “flipped” locations option, like allowing the default locations to be mirrored for left handed people. (tools colors on right side, history layers on left.)Those are just my thoughts though. I would be happy with simply having the reset windows option back (with or without a left-handed option). However, maybe there is a reason it is not in 4.0, such as the coding couldn't be configured without issues. So any wanting of the option back, and any new ideas, might just be wishful thinking.

Rick Brewster Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 "Reset Window Locations" only existed to serve as a troubleshooting "help! fix it!" button. In 4.0 a lot of the code in this area changed (for the better), and there haven't been reports of the windows disappearing or getting stuck outside of the monitor. There's just no need for it anymore.

Rei Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Alternatively, if you're not afraid of history being cleared, you can restart pdn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toe_head2001 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Alternatively, if you're not afraid of history being cleared, you can restart pdn. I believe you are mistaken, my friend. The child windows retain their location. (September 25th, 2023) Sorry about any broken images in my posts. I am aware of the issue.

ncgordon Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Why can't a future update of paint.net restore the Reset Window Positions function? It was very handy, especially when working with two different monitors and many different apps at the same time. Please restore the function!

pdnnoob Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Rick seemed pretty sure about not bringing it back, but maybe he'll change his mind. In the meantime, this is an old thread and, as per rule #11, I will be closing this thread. Feel free to start a new one linking to this thread if you wish to continue the discussion. Thanks!
