Title: Window size and position
Post by: SomeDude11 on April 15, 2021, 14:38:41

Can you add an option so we can manually set a window size for Aimp so it remembers it when it starts. Also an option so it centers itself on the monitor when it starts.

Both of these options are for example present in MPC-BE. Would be great if they were added to Aimp.

I for example run a multi-monitor setup with different resolution, size and scaling on each monitor. If I turn off the main monitor it forces Aimp into another monitor with a different size and scaling, thus it will get much bigger and the position will be different of course. So when I restart windows into the main monitor Aimp will start in a corner, and the size of its window is tiny.

I tried a workaround just like I did with GoldenDict. By setting the skin ini file to read-only, but it turns off read-only by itself when I restart Aimp, thus has no effect.

No, just resize the window via mouse and player will keep this size.

Can you explain what scenarios will be resolved via these options?

If you don't change the player's manually, it should scales correctly in this case.
What is your Windows and AIMP versions?

Windows 10, Aimp version 4.70 2248.

I have a 4k main monitor with scaling set to 225%. The TV is 1080p, scaling set to 175%, second monitor is 1080p, scaling set to 125%. So yea 3 different monitors with different scaling and resolution. If I turn off the main monitor at night and Aimp is on then it will change its position and size next time I start it.

i forgot to say that I use the Kantaris skin, if that matters in this case.
