Full Version: Object Properties" window

Hi Michael,
Would it be possible to change the location of the "Object Properties" window opening when clicking on "Details"?
I find that at certain times it's interesting to have this properties window active while performing actions in one or more view windows.
I've only found how to change the window dimensions in "moi.ini".

What's the use of "Object user text" in this properties window?

Hi Zooen,

re:

Currently the way separate dialog windows (like Options and "Object properties") work in MoI is their size is stored and re-used between sessions but their position is only stored and re-used within the same session. At the start of a new session they will initially start out centered.

However, it is possible to set up a startup script that would open the Object properties dialog and move it to a specific x,y position in desktop window coordinates.

If you place the attached .js file into the appdata startup folder it should do that.

It's a way for a script to store information attached to an object that will persist through .3dm save and load.
