On each development PC should be database of VIs opened on this PC.
Database content for each VI: FP and BG position, size, monitor, maximize window flag, tile Up&Down or Left&Right flags where user closed this VI.
User doesn't have to save VI to record new position of FP or BD.
Benefits:
- when VIs are commit-ed to svn then modification type 'FP size and position changed' will not be marked VIs as modified (this is heppening when VI is opend, not modified and closed)
- when 2+ developers are working on VI then VI will stay when 1st developer closed it and not where 2nd developer save it and re-commit-ed it
- 2nd developer with 2 monitors (or 6 monitors like Darren) will not move VI (FG and/or BG) on 2nd monitor when 1st developer has only one monitor
- each developer likes different layout of VIs during editing
This is about developing mode not run-time mode.
There could be one more flag = don't display VI Front Panel. That would be nice. FP could be accessible through menu or VI properties. And to wire/connect VI Pane with controls and terminals could be done on BG.
