Studio has Wanderlust...

Is this happening to anyone else:
I currently have Studio 4.6, but ever since Studio 4.0, every time I load Studio, it loads about 15 pixels to the left. After a couple of loads, I have to drag it by the Title Bar back to the position I want it in. I have tried positioning it and then immediately closing it and reopening, but that doesn't seem to help. It's as if there is no positional information for the ini file.
I kept hoping someone else would have been annoyed enough by this to bring it up, but it apparently hasn't been addressed yet, or at least not strongly enough to get results.
Any help?

    Sorry , I remove my documents.
    I perfectly miss-understanding ^^; I am so silly.

    as for me,, when I save the scene, studio keep the window size.
    even though I change window size, and save the scene,
    then load the scene, it seems no meaning about launch window size.

    simply just save the scene. next studio keep the window-size, and window positon.
    but if it can not work for you,, I do not know how correct it.
    simply hope other reliable user help you.
    :down:

    I've never had that happen to me. If it's not in the ini it's probably in the registry. Searching for "DAZ Studio" I see a HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\DAZ Studio 4.6 4.6.0.18 that may be of interest. I have NoRepair and NoModify set to 1 in there (no idea what they do). I don't see the window position in a human readable form, but I also see a isMaximized (set to true for me) under "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\DAZ\Studio4", but I have no idea what I'm looking for.

    when I tweak window size and positon, in daz studio,,

    C:\Users\yourname\AppData\Roaming\DAZ 3D\Studio4

    somefiles have been overwritten.
    then I think startupScript.dsa , decide when start DAZ stuido,
    window size, window positon. (it seems changed when I close ds , then record the current positon and window size

    I open the startUpScript.dsa by editor,
    the last section,
    there is 

    // Main Window State:

MainWindow.geometry = new Rect( 475, 70, 1218, 845 );

    I think,, first two means,, X positon and Y positon, then after 1218, is x size, 845 is ysize.

    so that if I modify them,, eg
    new Rect(100,100, 600,400) , then overwrite the startUpScript.dsa
    I can open daz studio,the size and position .

    if I just slide window ,do not change the positon,,
    after 600, 400 do not change,, so that I think my idea is not wrong,,^^;

    (of course,, if you tweak file,, please copy the original and save another dierctory,
    if you get another problem,, simply delete your modified file, then re-place copied one,, please ^^;)

    but I do not know,, about your case,, it can work or not.
    because,, ds need to record the positon,and window size, when you next close daz stuido.
    I think there may be , other script file which record these value. but I can not find,,

    But if you Maximize the DAZ window before closing, it forgets its Restored Down position. The 'Main Window State' information in the StartupScript.dsa file disappears.

    I just tried it, Cayman, the Maximise toggle works with the isMaximized key in the registry I posted above (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\DAZ\Studio4). I un-mximized DS4.6 then closed it, and now isMaximized is listed as false.
    And kita: don't run away, we like you!!!

    on that case,, simply apply last section.
    the setting of startupscript.dsa seems have priority to window status when closed ds for me.

// Main Window State:

MainWindow.geometry = new Rect( 100, 50, 800, 600 );

    Yes - it starts getting confusing when they mix INI files and the Registry. Keep it simple is my motto.
