not remembering window size and position

Upgraded to Prusa slicer 2.6.0 windows.

Prusa slicer opens in a small size window every time I open the program.

I resize the window and close prusa. Next time I open Prisa slicer it doesnt open in the last size and position.

This problem was not present in previous versions.

RE:

Check that you have Restore Window position on start enabled in Preferences.  If thats is already enabled then theres a problem writing to its ini file for some reason as thats where it stores the position and size.

RE: not remembering window size and position

I want each new PrusaSlicer window to always open in a fixes position and size, regardless of how the previous window was moved or resized.
Enabling "Restore window position" does not achieve that.
If I disable "Restore window position" the window is always small and near the middle of the screen.
The PrusaSlicer.ini has a setting "window_mainframe = 580; 280; 760; 490; 0" which at first glance appears to determine the position and size. But when I edit those values and then start PrusaSlicer again the old values are still uses, and they are automatically rewritten to the .ini file when PrusaSlicer closes. It seems those values are hardcoded elsewhere (in the .exe perhaps). Is there way to work around that and set a custom fixed window size and position?

RE: not remembering window size and position

Having the setting ON to remember the last used position is what gets stored into that ini file.  Without that setting it is basically replaced with the defaults each time it starts.  

So in simple terms, no you cant do what you want within PS.  Unless you modify the source and build your own version with your own defaults.

If on Windows you could try using Power Toys/FancyZones.

RE: not remembering window size and position

Too bad the default is an impractically small 760 x 490 window. Do you know what source file and line controls that?
