So.. 2 years after and still can't save window position? Thread Tools Search this Thread Display Modes
What's going on? Why can't I set a custom window position in omniweb? No, a snapshot doesn't work, it only saves the first instance of a window. Subsequent new windows WILL NOT use the snapshot's position. So a snapshot doesn't change the default window position for all windows.

I didn't care much about window position on my macbook. But now that I have an external LCD with bigger resolution, I NEED to set the window position.

Firefox and Safari work seamlessly intuitively nice with this regard. In comparison, Omniweb requires a manual :P

So my request is: please allow me to change the default window position so that whenever I make a new window (assuming that omniweb is always running and there are no other active windows) it uses my custom window position.

Possible solution: add Window -> Save Window Position right below Save Window Size.

I thought that "Save Window Size" saved the position as well.

I must be misunderstanding what you want. All my new windows open precisely where I want and I'm on 5.7 under Mac OS X 10.5.2.

I have a snapshot that opens in the top left corner. To test your problem, I then dragged and shrunk the window and "Save Window Size".

When I restart OmniWeb it opens in accordance with the snapshot and a new window will be as per dragged and shrunk version. In order to open it in at the snapshot position I just repositioned and resized it and saved the window size again. New windows now open at the snapshot position.

Sorry if I've completely misunderstood your problem.

Edit: My bad. I see what you mean now. Any other browser do what you want?

Yea.. Safari and Firefox do. I think almost every other browser respects custom size and positions easily. I kinda see why OW would do this differently.. but it really isn't intuitive. And right now it's very broken :D

It works fine at my mac. 10.5.2 and Omni 5.7beta1. save windows size also saves the position.....

Hmm. Now I am confused.

New Safari and Firefox windows open in the default position only if there is no window open already, otherwise new windows are offset.

OmniWeb exhibits the same behaviour, so I'm with "theonehorst", OW remembers size and position and I am not sure how else you want it to behave.
