Thor tools resize code window

[Mike Potjer]

This is a nit, but it bugs me juuust enough that I'm finally motivated to mention it. :-)

It seems that most of the tools that open code editing windows are using some predefined size or formula to explicitly size the code editing window.  I assume this is somewhere in the PEM Editor code.  With SET RESOURCE ON, the FOXUSER table stores the last size and position of code windows, but when I open code from tools like GoFish or Go To Definition, some other size is used.  Most of the time I end up resizing the window again to dimensions that I prefer.  If I'm correct that there is tool code somewhere that's setting that size, I would appreciate a way to turn that off.

Thanks,

Mike

Sure -- here you go ... this tool is for those of us who prefer to see our editor windows to all open at the same place.

MyFace.BackColor = RGB( 255, 0, 0 )

I started digging around after I posted this, and came across this very options screen.  I changed the default settings, and it does indeed appear to do what I wanted.  Hopefully this post at least brings attention to some settings which others may find useful, but weren't aware of.

Thanks,

Mike

I'll be changing it. thanks for pointing it out.

Mike and Todd --

You guys have suffered from this long enough!

This feature actually pre-dates Thor; it was part of one of the earlier features of PEM Editor.

It has certainly been around for at least five years (I say this having found a discussion on this from May, 2011)

Thanks Jim, but "suffered" is far to too strong for this.  If it was that bad, I would have pursued it long ago.  I ought to know by now that if some Thor tool is doing something I don't especially like, there's probably a reasonable way to change it.  If anything, I think this discussion highlights the great power and productivity that so many fine developers have given us through Thor, that I have time to whine about the size of my code windows. :-)
