robdyck Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 Does anyone else have the issue in X14 that the side windows reset each time X14 is opened? For me, X14 will not remember my side window sizes. This has never been a problem before. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Carrick Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 I've had that problem - both for side windows and for the Ruby Console. It would be nice if Chief remembered those things. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

X13 always opens them in the same location and size. Whatever, between X13 and X14, Chief has gotten very costly. You can't soar with the eagles when...

glennw Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Is this happening all the time or occasionally. I don't have any problem on my mac. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The central window resizes the adjacent size windows to the OOB default each time Chief X14 is opened. It remains as I set it for the duration of each session.

Kbird1 Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 I am finding a number of different DBX are not "remembering" their Layout eg in a Materials selection Window after adjusting the Panes, same issue as in X12 I think it was at 1st? I am also unsure why the Dashboard goes full screen every time I open X14 ( i didn't mind the X13 look ) ....and if I turn it Off completely Chief automatically Opens a new Plan ??? X13 also seems to be overwriting the X14 "File Associations" , another old long time Issue that has come back it seems. M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRAWZILLA Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 I am finding that the window on the main screen, the aldo always changes for me, but the lib. and project browser on my 2nd monitor always stay the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robdyck Posted June 9, 2022 Author Share Posted June 9, 2022 Shoving this topic back to the top! Everytime I re-open X14, I need to reset my view windows. I'm sending this to tech support, but if anyone knows of a solution, I'd love to hear about it. This is how Chief re-opens: This is how I prefer to have the windows: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I normally have my ALDO and PB Left and Right on 2nd/3rd Screens and find if I close them before I close Chief they come back at the same size when reopened but suffer the same issue as you if I just close Chief, at least I think that's what's going on , either way was not an issue in X13.

Joe_Carrick Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 IMO, all dialogs should open to the same size, zoom factor, location, etc as when they were closed. Every user has reasons for how they adjust apps. Chief should respect that. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robdyck Posted June 15, 2022 Author Share Posted June 15, 2022 Today, Chief X14 is opening with the window size 'remembered'!! Hallelujah! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution robdyck Posted September 30, 2022 Author Solution Share Posted September 30, 2022 Update..... For those also having an issue with Chief 'remembering' their window sizes, I believe I have found the 'issue' (for lack of a better word) and a resulting fix. Side window sizes can be affected by the inherent size of the Walkthrough Preview Dialog. Chief remembers and prefers this window more than any others! So...if you don't want the Walkthrough Preview window visible and would like your other windows reduced and remembered the solution is to: Display the Walkthrough Preview Window Relocate that Window to a secondary monitor Adjust the remaining window sizes to your preferred widths / positions. Turn off the display of the Walkthrough Preview Window. Because of Chief's preference and memory of the Walkthrough Preview window size and position, Chief will no longer adjust your other side windows to fit the space that would have been occupied by the Walkthrough Preview Window. Whew! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whew! GAHH!! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I finally had enough with having to resize the PB docked window every session, and searched and found this thread. OMG I was ready to break something valuable. Give yourself a "Solved" for that one, you deserve it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
