Hi a.l.e<br>
<br>
Well, yes and no,<br>
<br>
I played around a little and soem 'windows' did persist after
restarting Scribus, but not all. It seems that one has to dock them
and then move them to get them to persist. This is the first time
I've observed any behaviour like this in Scribus!<br>
<br>
Just docking them means less space for viewing the actual document
and I find two screens essential for A3 and bigger layouts
('windows' on one monitor and the main window on the other). I can't
imagine how people work with one monitor /screen for any length of
time on bigger docs, at least half-way efficiently. Maybe they have
no deadlines ;-)<br>
<p>The 'properties' window never seems to persist ('text properties'
does now :-) ) - but I've only done initial tests so far.</p>
<p>Very interesting indeed! Thanks!!</p>
