Workspaces Editor window upon open does not remember size or placement

[SparksFlyn]

Description of the new feature / enhancement

The Workspace Editor window opens on my Dell 49" monitor as a wide window that does not seem to honor my Fancy Zone settings. I resize the Workspace Editor window to a smaller and narrower window, but does not remember the sizing or placement. Otherwise, liking the PowerToy Workspaces. I have two Dell 49" monitors stack one on top of the other. Workspaces works well at placing my selected apps after opening on the two monitors.

Scenario when this would be used?

Workspaces Editor works well at remembering the apps and window positions when I create a workspace. Maybe I need to create a workspace for Workspace Editor so that it will reopen with settings I create.

Hi there!

@donlaci, thank you for your Pull Request.

I tested it just now and it worked ok. Existing windows for programs are resized and moved to the correct position (as far as I tested).

I just found an issue that I don't know if it's intended behavior or not: When one of the programs that already has an existing window is Google Chrome, a new window is opened instead of using the existing one. It still gets resized and moved correctly, but it's not the existing window that does it

@Kronopt

Thanks for your feedback. I will close this issue as solved and you might open a new one for the new issue.
I suppose you have checked the "Move existing windows" checkbox in the editor and that moving works for other apps except Chrome.
Beware of duplicates and please include also a bugreport if the issue persists. Thanks for your cooperation!

[Kronopt]

Ah! I didn't notice that checkbox!
It's working as intended now! My bad!

Thank you! :)

This is working as desired. However, I did notice that the installation of a new PT release resets the Workspace Editor to default size and placement. I have to resize it once again after installing a new PT release. I will wait until a new PT release to confirm that persistence is not happening. Workspaces is working better with Chrome if one is using profiles. Opening Chrome would first pop up with the profile selection page and then go on to open the main browser page. The Chrome browser opening is opening at the desired position for me now.

PT v0.87.1 installed.
