Can LC remember location of IDE windows?

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Tom,

Each time when you save a stack, its location is saved as part of the document. When the stack is opened on a different machine, it will open in the same location.

Some stacks have a script that changes the location. A script may move a stack window to the a particular location in the preOpenStack script, which makes it appear as if the location saved in the stack file is ignored.

Because stacks that are part of a standalone application can't be saved, a preferences file is needed to store the location. A closeStack handler can write the location of a stack to a preferences file and a preOpenStack handler would read the location from the preferences script and set the location of the stack before it appears on screen. IDE stacks are not part of a standalone and should not need such a preferences file, but modern operating systems may not allow limited users to save IDE stacks because they are in the applications folder.
