Place Morphs in World as you wish, automatically

Problem. Every time I run Cuis I need to place again and again my Windows as I like most, there must be a better way.

Solution. Find the position of a Morph in the World and change it, via code. Then put that code in the startup script. Here I show only how to find and change a Window (Morph) position.

". open a new Browser, for example"
b1 _ BrowserWindow openBrowser . 

". move it where you like most, then watch its coordinate in the world"
b1 morphPositionInWorld .  "=> 57.0@747.0 "
b1 morphExtentInWorld .    "=> 1188@733 "

". now close that browser"
". open another browser at the desired position "
(BrowserWindow openBrowser) morphPosition: 57@747 extent: 1188@733.

The same procedure holds for all other Morphs you would like to move in the World.

Solution 2

  • Bring up the world menu (left click in the background)
  • Select Save Image

Next time you run Cuis all windows should be in exactly the same position with the same text and everything.

Alternately

  • Bring up the world menu (left click in the background)
  • Select Save Image As... and give it a descriptive name

Then the next time you run Cuis use that new image instead of the original and all of your windows should be intact.

TODO. At the moment I am not able to open and pin automatically the OpenOpenMenu at the top left corner of World. Re-Start testing from here:

self runningWorld invokeWorldMenu . 
(self runningWorld invokeWorldMenu) class.
