HeuristicLab Applications do not respect their previous location and size

Reported by: mkommend Owned by: mkommend
Priority: medium Milestone: HeuristicLab 3.3.14
Component: Optimizer Version: 3.3.13
Keywords: Cc:

Description

When for example the optimizer is started and moved to another display, after restarting the application it starts again on the primary monitor. This could be quite annoying for the user and should be fixed.

A solution is to save the last location, size and window state of the opened form in the user settings and use to saved settings to position the application accordingly.

Could you have a look if this is also possible for the starter form in the plugin infrastructure and the splash screen.

Please also check what default values are used in case the settings file does not contain any stored location and size.

After the last update I recompiled and then HL opened at the top left of my monitor and was scaled to the minimum size. My guess is that the location and size was set to 0, resulting in a Window so small I could not even click on because it was hidden by my taskbar.
