Persist window location when opening the app

[groundbirdaircat]

Currently the application always opens in the center of the primary monitor.

This request is for the window to open up wherever it was when it was last closed.

Hi, @heyman, I was looking into this enhancement request and this can be achieved by adding this to config while creating new BrowserWindow

let windowConfig = {
    width: CONFIG.get("windowConfig.width", 900) as number,
    height: CONFIG.get("windowConfig.height", 680) as number,
    x: CONFIG.get("windowConfig.x") as number,
    y: CONFIG.get("windowConfig.y") as number,
    isMaximized: CONFIG.get("windowConfig.isMaximized", false) as boolean,
    isFullScreen: CONFIG.get("windowConfig.isFullScreen", false) as boolean,
}

but the problem here is a default value in case x and y are not found in config, we cant just pass any arbitrary value as we would like to center the window in that case, I can technically do the following to avoid passing the x and y value in case they are not present and window will automatically be centered,

let window_offset = {};
if(CONFIG.get("windowConfig.x") && CONFIG.get("windowConfig.y")) window_offset = {
  x: CONFIG.get("windowConfig.x") as number,
  y: CONFIG.get("windowConfig.y") as number,
}
let windowConfig = {
  width: CONFIG.get("windowConfig.width", 900) as number,
  height: CONFIG.get("windowConfig.height", 680) as number,
  isMaximized: CONFIG.get("windowConfig.isMaximized", false) as boolean,
  isFullScreen: CONFIG.get("windowConfig.isFullScreen", false) as boolean,
  ...window_offset
}

this will get the job done but I am not sure if it's the right way of doing this. Could you share your opinions on this?
