Why should it?

comment:2 by bitigchi, 3 years ago

I guess every application should remember its last closed position. It's the requirement of being a spatial desktop system after all.

Not sure it's a requirement for being spatial. In any case, I think the About window is opened quite infrequently, and other than with apps you actually do some kind of work with, it doesn't matter if it opens at the same position it did a week ago. I rather have oe less "_settings" file in ~/config/settings...

Description: modified (diff)

It is annoying to have the window open in the middle of the desktop! On most upper top I would prefer it! Otherwise to have tabs on the windows makes no sense! same to the size of the window! At least there is now the about window replicant which makes it possible to resize and move! If all windows would be able to save its position one can easily arrange the windows on the desktop and make use of the tabs Haiku windows have!
