Window size again!

[richardharrisxx]

Sorry if this has been mentioned already. The desktop app no longer remembers the last window size used - this was a problem with an earlier version which got fixed.
Thanks

Hello and welcome back to our forum!

We recently had a similar issue which remains unsolved:

Windows Location/Size Remembering Ability

It is SO ANNOYING that the Windows Application NEVER REMEMBERS its RESIZING and I HAVE TO DO IT EVERY TIME it loads in my sequence of applications via MSFS Add-On Linker… If this is not resolved soon, I must say that you subscription is gone and a free addon called LittleNavMap has really evolved and for some but not all inflation is extremely outpacing income growth thus subscription services are the first to go…

Could you answer the same questions asked over there? Mainly:

@skysail

• Have you tried reinstalling the application?
• Do you use any window management software?
• What OS do you use, macOS or Windows?
• What kind of scaling settings have you set up for your monitors?
• What is the resolution of your monitors?

Also, please note where you are leaving the window before closing the application. Is there any location you can put it in where it remembers the position at all?

Kind Regards,
Malte

Reinstalled and updated 8.33.0 8341268705

Windows 11 23H2

No management software

I have a 4k landscape monitor and a 1920x1200 landscape, running on 4090
Charts is on smaller monitor, running nearly full screen

Still not saving position

Must stress it was working on my setup until recent update!

Thanks for this information! Could you also check this?

@skysail

Try to put it in a smaller window in the middle of your main screen for example. Does it still not save?
The app has some logic that resets the window position if Windows reports that it is off-screen.

I can confirm that nothing has been changed in this regard, the responsible code and anything affecting it remained untouched for the last update. It could be related to a Windows update, though…

If it is not saving your position at all regardless of window position, we probably need to investigate rewriting this feature completely…

For some additional information, please follow these steps:

Locate window-state.json

1. Press Win + R
2. Type %appdata%\Navigraph Charts and press enter
3. Locate window-state.json in the explorer window that opens

Debugging

Now, please follow these steps to try to get a grip of the situation:

1. Open Charts and place it where you want it
2. Close it down
3. Copy the window-state.json file and upload it to your next forum post
4. Open Charts again - its position should reset again, please confirm that this is the case.
5. Close Charts again and upload the window-state.json file once again to your next post.

In the end, you should have two window-state.json files uploaded!

Apologies for the inconvenience, let’s try to track this down together!

Kind Regards,
