I have about 8 charts up on 3 windows within one chartbook. I click "save all" upon exiting and when I restart Sierra Chart the window positions don't save. I then have to manually re-align all windows because they spawn in random positions. Is there a way to save window positions so I don't have to constantly do this?

This is an operating system problem. It is not within Sierra Chart's control or fault.

One other caveat here. Even if window does not automatically fill up a portion of that monitor, if Windows Snapping is on, then dragging one side of a SC window to an edge IF the 'Windows Snap Circle' appears SC will not save window position. Not a SC issue as mentioned the OS doesn't send the current size and position of the window to save. You have to adjust the SC window to the edge without seeing the 'Snap Circle' then positions will be saved. In the case of when using Windows 10, and you have dragged a particular window in Sierra Chart to the edge of a monitor and that window automatically fills up a portion of that monitor, when Sierra Chart gets the size and position of that window (GetWindowPlacement) the operating system will not return the current size and position of the window. The solution is to manually move and manually adjust the size and position so that Windows 10 returns the correct size and position through the GetWindowPlacement function.

user_xyz Thanks! This completely solved my problem. Everything saving as it should. Window snapping was the problem. |

You are welcome I fought with this for months before I finally figured it out - drove me nuts. Thought maybe you were suffering from same fate.
