Plug in window location

Hi Paul, When I close the octane plug-in and a reopening is it, it moves slightly downward.
The monitor I keep it on is in portrait View. It looks like the screens I have set to landscape retain the size and location of the plugin window but not the one I haven't portrait View.
Is there any way you can fix this in later updates? I like having it in the portrait view window so I can see all the settings without scrolling

Hi

This looks like the new version of python (wx.python specifically) is messing with the plugin Setup window location. My guess is that because you have the window stretched out, it is confusing the wx window manager. If the Setup window is "short" does the problem still happen?

When the Setup window is closed - it writes it's location to your config.xml file in the Poser Preferences folder (as "SetupX" and "SetupY"). So you could do some investigation into the issue by closing the Setup window and checking which coordinates were written.

Thanks

I have a three-monitor setup the far right monitor is in portrait view the other two are in landscape view. The main monitor is the center. It only does that with the far right portrait view monitor. The center monitor/ main is fine. But when closing the plug-in in the far left monitor. When reopening it appears on the main center monitor. It doesn't ever show back up on the far left monitor. And yes when I shorten the plug-in in the far right monitor to a certain extent it doesn't appear halfway in the window as in my first post.
The attachment shows me closing it in the far left Monitor and when I reopened it appears in the main Center monitor

Thanks for the screenshots.

The plugin code to remember and reinstate the Setup window is reliant on wx.python, which does not handle multiple monitors well. So regretfully, I don't think this is something that I can easily fox.
