Hi Freeman,

 

There’s no default layout reset command as far as I know. It’s easy to sometimes mess up the window positions. Bu you can just shuffle them back with a bit of practice by dragging the title bar tab and inserting the window in the place you want. There is a bit of a knack to it.

 

That’s probably a good suggestion, a reset default layout command. But it’s a bit problematical, because what it is the default?

That's easy. The default is how it would be with no user preferences present.
I'm quite sure when loading the interface every tool loads the settings with a given default value which kicks in if no setting is stored. Technically it would be very easy to reset all the settings to these default values (which must already be there in the code). What I see a little bit complicated here is figuring out all places in the code where this is relevant, since I assume it is pretty much scattered over all the interface components.

It’s different for different users. I use Music View and Documentation Browser and the edit window, but others may have different setups. So the idea may be to have a save/restore layout function rather than a default function.

Well, *if* anyone looks into this I suggest to add *both* these functions. Different setups should be good to have for different editing stages or project types.

So Freeman, as Aaron suggested it would be good to open a feature request on Frescobaldi's issue tracker at https://github.com/wbsoft/frescobaldi/issues.

Best
