[Feature Request] Remember dialog window position/size #327

Open Species3259 opened 2 years ago

Species3259 commented 2 years ago

What the title says.

I like to work on a map with the Object Properties dialog open. Every time i start Hammer++ i have to drag the window to some corner and adjust the size a little.

Would be nice if Hammer++ could remember this and for every other dialog that opens first time (eg Face Edit).

Very strange. Doesn't that bother you? When selecting any object, an attempt will be repeated to read all its properties and I / O, this greatly slows down the process, and most often can lead to the editor crashing.

@MARK2580 The primary reason for having it always open is when i am working on game logic. Not while doing geometry (blocks the view). Perhaps it seems less strange to you knowing that i work with Portal 2 maps. As you may know, lots and lots of logic with Portal maps.

I never noticed any slowing down of any process. Especially not in this Hammer++. Funny thing is that the original P2 Hammer cant handle moving in the 3D view. As soon as you push the forward button (W) the object properties will continiously renew itself. This in turn creates huge input lag spikes which makes it basically impossible to have anything selected with the properties dialog open AND moving in the 3D view (2 seconds pressing W does nothing and then you jump suddenly 200 units forward :-) The Left 4 Dead 2 Hammer in contrast does NOT have a problem when moving in 3D and the properties window open. And to my pleasant surprise, neither does Hammer++ with P2.

Crashes are plentifull (sigh), but never when moving in the 3D view and/or switching between entities.
