document window size

[Scott Prentice]

Hi Natalie...

If you're working on binary FM files (not opening an XML file), it 
*should* open to the size, zoom, and position that it was last saved. If 
you have the document minimized and you do a "Save All Files" .. it'll 
reopen in a minimized state. Or possibly someone else has been working 
on these files, and they are getting saved in other states.

We have a plugin called RestoreWindows that lets you specify the size, 
position and zoom for new or opened document windows, as well as the 
state and position of the other catalogs, palettes, and windows. You can 
use the 30-day trial to give it a whirl.

This is most useful for XML files, but also alleviates the problem you 
describe in a multi-user environment.
