I noticed that when the toolbar command opens the All RUIs dialog, it always opens centered within the Rhino window and always at the same size. After that, I can resize and move the dialog, and the child dialogs, such as All Toolbars and Toolbar, open within the same parent dialog/window and therefore keep the same position and size.
However, when I use Right-click → Properties…, the Toolbar dialog opens directly, but it always appears in the top-left corner of the screen and always at a small size.
I work on a 43-inch monitor and mostly access this dialog through the Properties context menu, so it is frustrating to have the Toolbar dialog open in the corner every time and then have to move and resize it manually.
My main request is that Rhino remember the last size and position of the Toolbar dialog when it is opened.
More broadly, I think the behavior should be consistent across dialogs. One possible approach would be:
-
Dialogs should initially open centered within Rhino’s main window.
-
The All RUIs dialog already does this.
-
The Toolbar dialog does not.
-
Dialogs should remember their last position and size while Rhino is running.
Another alternative would be to remember dialog position and size across Rhino sessions. Other CAD applications do this, and the advantage is that dialogs stay where I like them, just like panels and toolbars. The downside is that things can get messy when changing monitor size, monitor resolution, or monitor position.
