<br>
why??<br>
and why is there no feature-request on <a href="https://bugs.puredata.info?">https://bugs.puredata.info?</a><br>
<br>
one possible answer to the second question is, that I (yes me) would <br>
probably close such a feature-request immediately, on the grounds that <br>
you can implement this with a trivial gui-plugin:<br>
<br>
put a file named "mypdwindowgeometry-plugin.tcl" (the base-name does not <br>
matter but it *must* end with "-plugin.tcl") with the following content <br>
into your Pd-searchpath (without the backticks):<br>
<br>
```<br>
if {[winfo exists .pdwindow]} {<br>
wm geometry .pdwindow =538x300+0+458<br>
}<br>
```<br>
<br>
whenever you start Pd, this GUI plugin will move the window to the <br>
selected place.<br>
no patching of Pd required. works on all OSs (not tested).<br>
<br>
you could even reduce the plugin to just the "wm geometry ..." line.<br>
<br>
i guess writing this plugin is about the same amount of typing as a <br>
"configurable setting" (provided this setting is text-based and not just <br>
"remember my current position").<br>
<br>
<br>

<br>
? what i would wish for is that the Pd window opened up on the currently <br>
active monitor, rather than my left-most monitor, where i usually have a <br>
full-screen editor running that likes to hide my Pd)<br>
