Saving desktop in Windows7 - 64 bit ?

[Busk]

I have marked the "Preferences/user interface/Options/Autosave Desktop", but PL/SQL does not remember the position and size.

Both the main window and the preferences window opens as e rather small (about 150x100 pixels) window at the upper left part of the screen.

I imagine it could be something about the rigths to read a file, og maybe the directory name "Program Files (x86)".

Is this a wellknown problem and does anyone have a solution?

It should work just fine. Which PL/SQL Developer version are you using?

 

[Busk]

The version is 8.0.4.1514.

Okay. Can you go to Help > Support Info, press the 'Copy all pages' button on this info screen, and paste this text into an e-mail reply?

I mailed you the information last week, so I wonder if you have any suggestions or can tell me where the desktop information goes.
It is very annoying; also the large object editor opens in a very small window - every time!

Can you start PL/SQL Developer, resize the window to a proper size, select Window > Save Layout, and exit? Next, start regedit.exe, go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Allround Automations\PL/SQL Developer\Position, and check the Width and Height values?

 

[Busk]

OK
values in decimal:

Height 1123
Left 80
Monitor 0
State 0
Top 18
Width 1422

After restart of PL/SQL developer and just saving without adjusting the size:
Height 240
Left 66
Monitor 0
State 0
Top 66
Width 320

I seems like it just doesn't read the registry values.

P.S. It does not write an entry in
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wow6432Node

Problem solved :grin:

After upgrading my video driver and DESELECTING (sic) the
"Enable Desktop Manger"/"Preserve Application Position and Size"
PL/SQL developer will now open windows in the position and size it had before!!

I had the same problem with delphi 2010 IDE, where running a program opened in the same small window in the upper left corner.

The Graphics card is RADEON HD5770 with dual displays.

Just for your information.
