[2.0.20] Blueprint library window recenters every time another book is opened

Post by TurningGears »

There is already a thread here (viewtopic.php?p=642394&sid=d3cfa264c5d3 ... f91b2d5342), so feel free to close this one and move that one over from Gameplay Help.

Every time a blueprint book is opened, the blueprint library window jumps back to the center of the screen. If you try to build something and have organized your blueprints in a lot of books, this is quite annoying, as you have to move the window to the side each time to see what you are building. This also happens with child book that you navigate through a lot for example a "Rails Book" with the children "Stations" and "Curves". If you go down or upwards, which you probably do a lot during building, the window recenters each time.

Thanks for the report. This is working correctly since the GUI is closed and re-created when switching to a different book. The game does not remember window positions at the moment.

I'm sorry to say, but what you're trying to do is simply not supported. The supported way is to hold the book in the cursor and scroll through the contents using shift + scroll wheel.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.

Thanks for the info! This would be really helpful, especially if you have a wider monitor and like some order in your windows and have a huge blueprint library to maintain.
Any plans to support saving window positions or are there too many edge cases with overlapping windows, windows off the screen with changing resolutions etc. that you don't consider it worth the effort?
