| Summary | 0001221: File Monitor: Add folders dialog appears off-center | ||||
| Description | When the user clicks 'Add folders' in the file monitor configuration pane, the 'Add Folders' dialog appears, however it appears in the lower right portion of the screen, with half of the dialog offscreen. We should tweak this prior to release. | ||||
| Tags | No tags attached. | ||||
| Fixed in build | |||||

This actually isn't MM's problem, the dialog is completely shown by Windows and MM cannot influence its position, behaviour, etc. However, I realized that on non-WinXP systems the old version of the dialog is shown. Starting from build 737 the newer version will be shown on all systems (if IE5.0+ is installed). In the future I plan to use our own (themed) version of the dialog. |

I tested this in WMP, which has an almost identical 'Add Folders' dialog, and in that application, the dialog appears in the correct location. I'm guessing that Windows 'thinks' that MM is running in a higher resolution than it's actually running at, accounting for the akward (lower-right) positioning of the dialog. I have not seen this behaviour in any other applications on my system. |

Lowering priority to 'urgent' as discussed over IM. It's not a major issue and doesn't seem to occur on all systems. |
