I modified the preferences.txt file to match my wishes a longer time ago.
Now I wanted to do some readjustings. But it has strange results.
The file is located here
C:\Users\dipl-\AppData\Local\Arduino15\preferences.txt
Whenever I close the last instance of a *.ino-file the last accessd timestamp shows the point in time I closed this file.
I tried to modify this line inside the preference.txt
from
last.sketch.default.location=764,5,1400,1373,1058,0
to
last.sketch.default.location=770,5,1000,1000,1058,0
but as soon as I restart the IDE 1.8.19 the values are changed back to
last.sketch.default.location=680,320,1400,800,-1,0
where the heck does this come from?????
Which other line inside preferences.txt or which other file at what storing-location do I have to modify to make it work?
I also tried to modify these lines
editor.window.height.default=800
editor.window.height.min=290
editor.window.width.default=800
editor.window.width.min=800
with results that I don't understand.
The Sketch-Editor window-height / width changed but not to the values that I entered.
It seems that there are done some calculations that increase the numbers.
So what the heck does the IDE all in all to define the sketch-editor-window??
To me it seems like some numbers are scramble-calculated in a very hard to analyse way
