Re: [be] Moving windows

Tim,

Actually I found out it was another Bibledit user who is not
on the BE list who solved the problem. Here is his email below.
It involves editing a configuration file but is not very difficult
if you follow the instructions exactly. I assume you have a
text editor like gedit? Hope it works!


Paul,

I found out how to restore the position. Open in any text editor
the following file: ~/.bibledit/configuration/configuration.1.xml
(here the tilde stands for your home directory; you can type the
name of your text editor and then that path. For example, in Ubuntu
with its 'gedit' text editor it will be like this:
gedit ~/.bibledit/configuration/configuration.1.xml)

Then search for (in gedit you press CTR+F) the line 'window-y-positions'
(without quotes and make sure the 'positions' is plural because there
is another instance of 'window-y-position' which does something different).
You will get something like this:

<window-y-positions>
  <value>0</value>
  <value>-17</value>
  <value>0</value>
 </window-y-positions>

Change the middle value into '0' (zero) and save the file. If your text
editor can show line numbers it should be the line 101. At least it is
so in my case. Here I put '-17' but you may have another value. But minus
means that the titlebar is too high and perhaps hidden. If you have positive
value it means that the bar is too low. So zero is just on.

I assume that Bibledit is off when doing that.
