frankly i don't know if anyone really cares..

I guess we're all about to find out from this thread.

My view is they're a bit expensive but I'm not in great need of stickers. I'd rather have 25 more days of DC server time

The only sticker that I require would say who I am, where I am, and where I should go next. (I've already had some very creative suggestions about the last!)

clearly more work needed here - I guess I was a bit enthusiastic posting this morning (note to self - do your own damn testing!!)

error is caused because you don't have any MRU entries - I'm still working on this bit but this is some progress

-Target (April 13, 2009, 10:55 PM)

yes, i found out about this quite belatedly since MTF puts in an 'ERROR' entry in the MRU drop-down.

not a biggie but in the 'set length' gui, the text is not quite viewable..

what resolution are you running? it's fine here (laptop @ 1280 x 800)

desktop @ 1152 x 864. font size: normal (96 dpi)

Others are far better equipped to answer than I but my two 1600x1200 give me 3200x1200.
By default, maximizing a window maximizes it to the screen it's on.
Utilities, such as UltraMon, allow maximizing to the entire (two-screen) desktop.

Todd answered fast. He's good.
Unfortunately, no upgrade path, so I'd have to buy a license for server.
I'm looking into free alternatives, as this type of software doesn't come cheap.
Do you know any?

-urlwolf (April 12, 2009, 03:08 PM)

What a shame 

I don't personally know of free alternatives for what you want to do but I hope you find something.

1.0.11 is out with few fixes:

- window position was not saved at all (only size);
- normal window state not saved if it was maximized previously.

-fenixproductions (April 12, 2009, 03:09 PM)

With 1.0.11 I still get a different position on open than was true on close.
The images show the same screen (they're shown side by side only for convenience).

1.0.10 is out!

I've fixed few problems with opened tags and corrected parsing of url= tag.

-fenixproductions (April 12, 2009, 10:39 AM)

Thanks for your efforts!

This version wants always to open lower doen the screen than where it was closed.
Have you changed the positioning params at all? Reversed top/bottom pos?

Tweenbots have a destination displayed on a flag, and rely on people they meet to read this flag and to aim them in the right direction to reach their goal.
