Window location resets on restart for negative numbers

[hanjo]

Hi,

I have a multi-monitor setup. My second monitor is to the left of my primary monitor. This causes the x value of the position to become negative in the settings.yml:

  x: -960
  "y": 1561

Upon restart of the application, the x and "y" values are deleted from the configuration and the window's position is reset to the top left of my primary monitor.
I guess there is some check for validity of the parameters. In fact, negative values are valid in a multi-monitor setup. Would be great to get the validation procedure updated to consider this.

Thanks!

PS: I noticed I can save the window location as "formation". After restart I can restore a formation which works fine. So a good workaround for the time being, it seems the validation step does not apply here.

Hi again,

Ah yes — round two.
Different feature, same conclusion, same plot twist.

Short answer:

Multi-monitor support is not implemented in v0.1.

Negative window coordinates are technically valid, but the current config validation is written for a single-monitor setup, so negative values are discarded and the window is reset. This is expected behavior for the current alpha version.

The formation restore working is accidental but valid — it bypasses the validation logic and is the recommended workaround for now.

This is v0.1 (alpha) software:

• features may be incomplete
• some advertised things don’t work yet
• some things work “by coincidence”

If you want this fixed quickly, feel free to implement proper multi-monitor handling and open a PR — I’ll review and merge it.

Not a bug. Unsupported feature. Alpha doing alpha things.

Okay. Let me also make this a feature request then.

Thanks!
