Windows positions store / restore command-line for Windows OS

winpos

Windows positions store / restore command-line for Windows OS.

Problem

Having two different monitors, I always have a chaos on my desktop after Windows go sleep / awake.

Need simple tool which will keep and eye on all 'normal' window positions and store it somewhere.

Then, after awake Windows, you can easy restore positions by short commands.

Looking for existing software, I can't find anything which makes my life more easy.

Details

1. Logging. winpos is program without UI, it works hidden and doesn't show nothing to screen / console. Only way to see what happens is log file. Log file created in running directory. So best to launch winpos from temporary dir, where log can be saved.

2. Windows data stored to file windows.txt near binary. It's not a modern, so please change it if you want so. PR is welcome.

3. winpos is Windows only software.

Usage

winpos s or winpos save - saves position of all active windows. winpos r or winpos restore - saves position of all active windows.

TODO

• Implement watch mode: program running in background, periodically (on 5 seconds of user idle, for example), save all positions
