Unknown change of the alarms window coordinates (top, left)

Hi,

I've got courious problem.

The alarms window is managed via pushbottons for activate and minimize. It is a floating window.

After a start-up of the lookout program, sometimes if I want display the alarms window, it doesn't appear.

Looking in the lookout.ini file, the tags left and top of the [alarms] group, have strange values.

These values are out of the range of the screen and obviously the alarms windows appears, but we can't see it because it is at wrong coordinates.

 

Have you got a problem like this? If yes, there's a solution different of manually change of the coordinates in the lookout.ini file?

There's a way to lock the lookout.ini file? It's enough to mark it as read only?

There are parameters to set that doesn't appear in the display options and filter options windows?

 

Thanks for your help. Bye !

The position of the alarm window is saved to the ini file everytime you close lookout.

 

You can "restore" the maximized panel, and then you will see the scroll bar. Drag the scroll bar to find the alarm window and move it back.

 

"Restore" is the button between "minimize" and "close".
