Hello,
sorry if I'm duplicating something already discussed... but here is the thing:

I'm often switching monitor vs. notebook one (mac) and so on resolution.
Every single time i do have messed around my windows possitions because of lack of space on notebook display or very large space on static monitor.

Would be GREAT if there will be option to save all windows placement as sort of profile to rearange window possitions regarding my needs.

Or is there anything similar?
I'm aware about window pin, but it's get rearanged because of different resolution anyway.

Thanks for you effort to read this or considering it as an option!

Cheers

When we moved to the new launcher, we were told to copy some file with the settings from the old launcher. The question is correct though: why can't the server save that file? Or the place that stores our profile data like the profile picture? I know there are a lot of people in this game, but these are really small files, storing all of them would need maybe 1 or 2 GB on the server in the worst case.

If you want an intelligent argument, please do, I'm up for it!

But if you want a trolling contest, I will win it by simply not participating.

I forgot to mention I'm talking about ingame windows like overview, local, scanners etc.

window position of the client would be of course also great to have saved

Set yourself up with two different launcher profiles on your notebook, one for notebook screen and the other for the monitor. The different profiles will remember your window placement.

There, your issue here is now solved.
