RK Launcher doesn't save last position

Hello,

yep thats my prob.

Rk Launcher works fine on my Laptop, no prob, everything works very well.

But on my other computer, Rk Launcher didnt save his last position.

After reboot Rk Launcher always starts at the top the the screen /

upper left corner.

Did anyone here knows about the problem?

The OS on both PC´s are the same, Windows XP SP2.

The attributes of the RKLauncher folder is not write protected.

Any Idea´s?

best regards

Ingo

Ideas? Here is one: close the dock, then go to Prg Files (or wherever you installed RKL), open RKLauncher.conf (with WordPad) and under [Position] change position to 4 and positionMargin to 0 (that is if you want to have RKL on the bottom of the desktop, in the center), then save the file, close it and open RKL again.

BTW what build of RKL do you use?

Hey,

first of all, thanks a lot but it didnt work.

I use the last nighty build version from last week.

Here is the config file:

----

[settings]

[Appearance]

magnifySize = 60

smallSize = 35

itemDistance = 0

magnification = 1

backgroundAlpha = 255

itemsMagnify = 7

position = 4

theme = RealDock

hideIndicators = 0

hidePoofs = 0

[behavior]

alwaysOnTop = 0

locked = 1

automaticHide = 0

autoHideDelay = 260

saveOnExit = 1

saveOnChange = 1

saveItems = 1

itemAnimation = 1

itemAnimationCount = 5

itemAnimationNew = 1

minimizeToDock = 1

useMinMaxEffect = 1

minMaxEffect = RKScaleEffect/RKScaleEffect.dll

minimizePosition = -2

alphaEdge = 225

alphaShadow = 205

hideLabel = 0

fadeLabel = 0

[Performance]

I just see a "position" in the first chapter.

If i change this number i cant see any effect on next start or do i have to reboot my pc every time?

I close RK Launcher before changing the settings, sure.

Any Idea´s?

Wow cool !

Thank you very much, looks like it works now.

The most interesting thing is that I download the latest nighty build shouldnt it

have the latest config file? :-)

And exaclty this version works very well on my IBM Think, but not on

my desktop PC.

Anyway, again thank you very much, works fine now.

btw... on my way to the nighty build Thread right now to catch some Infos :)
