#18865 new bug

Should restore default window position when it starts out of screen (easy)

Description

I changed my desktop from 4k to 1080 at some point. As a result the position for Icon-O-Matic kept opening out of screen. Visually I saw nothing. When I opened it from filetypes nothing happened apparently as it was indeed visible but outside of screen bounds.

I believe that if on app startup the window to be restored is out of maximum visible area the default size should be restored (this is what I did manually by going into the settings and deleting the settings file for icon-o-matic before restarting it).

This looks like it would make a good easy ticket.

Hint to whoever decides to take this up: figure out a way to get the screen's size, perhaps through BScreen::GetMode, and take that into account when updating fLastWindowFrame in IconEditorApp.cpp.

I think just a call to MoveOnScreen() should suffice?

Ah, wasn't aware of that API. That should make it easier. You may need to update fLastWindowFrame after calling it.

Can this be marked as easy?
