Is there any way to get the Screen Layouts (.SLY) file to store the size of the Selectable Units Form? It's a pain having to resize it every time it pops up.

The program stores the position (i.e., top left corner) of the Selectable Units form in the Screen Layout file (e.g., *.SLY).

The width is determined by the program 'automatically' [I know, that word usually means not the way you want something done.

]

The height is calculated based on the number of entries/units being shown in the form.

You will need to change the position of the form to where you want it placed for each major power and perform a "Modify Screen Layout" each time.

Thank you for the reply Shannon. My hope was that the size (width and height) of the form could be saved like a lot of the other forms. My preference would for the form to be the full height of the screen and about half as wide as it currently is. The default location of 0,0 is fine.

You will see this change in the next release.

June 22, 2018 - Reduced the width of the Selectable Units form (it had been increased by accident somewhere along the way.
