Notepads: Record window position and restore previous window position[Feature request]

[lymansix]

Can you add features to record the window position and restore the previous window position ？

[yaichenbaum]

Doesn't it already do this?

[JasonStein]

This should be enabled by default and I did not touch this part, can you try again? Maybe a windows glitch.

[lymansix]

Restart notepads without remembering the location and size of the window after splitting the left and right screens.

[JasonStein]

Can you re-pro it and record a short video if possible? Or screenshots?

[lymansix]

Close notepads after the left split screen and reopen the location of the last window that could not be recorded.

[JasonStein]

This is "default" behavior for all UWP apps. Split view is a special scenario/use case .

[lymansix]

Okay, I see. Thank you for your answer.
By the way, is there any other way to do it?

[JasonStein]

You mean to remember last window position for split view? No I do not think so.

Just installed your (nice) app, and stumbled upon this "feature" behaviour.

Had to uninstall again, because if an app does not start pixel-perfect how I exited it last time, it is rather unusable to me 😢

@UweKeim This is true not only for Notepads but also for all other UWP apps including Windows 10 Email app, Calculator and even the Settings app. There is nothing I can do about it.

UWP apps have no control of its own window and runs inside a sandbox. Only win32 apps can have full access to its window location as well as for multi-monitor scenario. UWP on the other hand knows nothing about host environment regarding to window.

I tested Notepads and it definitely opens up with the same size and in the same location it was before closing.

[UweKeim]

Thanks for your feedback.

Yes, that's true but not for the case that @lymansix shared. (Split screen scenario)
