Hi,

I recently installed MBAM to try it out and noticed that you cannot make any changes to the main window of MBAM so it will be remembered the next time the application is launched.. Even going into the MBAM shortcut properties and changing the window from normal to maximized is not being honored. MBAM only knows one size and one window position when it is run. I prefer to resize and position an application's main view and most programs save
these changes to be valid across all sessions. From my trials and errors, MBAM does not. It does allow changes during a session, but they are lost after closing. Is there any reason why this is so?

I for one like it that way....malwarebytes has the best interface GUI I have ever seen and I've worked on comps for 30 years! You can't improve on perfection...even MS can't...and I'm glad

Its quiet user friendly. Almost child like. Just don't judge her by looks. She's packin one fierce engine under the hood.

I can understand everyone's enthusiasm about MBAM - I find it quite good too. I was simply asking what the reasoning was behind the fact that MBAM does not save one's preferred MBAM window settings. I was hoping to hear from an MBAM developer like Marcin (RubbeR DuckY) to shed some light on my question. Praising MBAM is IMO OT to what I'm trying to clarify.

Give Marcin some time. He's a very busy guy.

I understand that and I have no problem waiting for a response from someone that can address my question.

Thanks, Al

I'll see if I can add the ability to save the window position when the user clicks Exit.

Thanks Marcin. Hopefully, it will not be too much trouble adding this small enhancement. I'm
sure others will appreciate it too.

I guess this fix has a very low priority.

Yeah, I think they've had too many new nasties going around lately to stay on top of. Have a look at the HijackThis area to see the carnage. Subverting all these rogues and rootkits is a huge task unto itself I'm sure.

Im sure they will get to it. The more helpers we have, the less work they have to do, which results in more cool features

Thats my philosophy anyways

Marcin hasn't been at his computer for the past few days. He's been too busy. He's doing his best to get bugs fixed and such, so he'll get to it when he can.

It's been a year now and MBAM is still unable to save its window position or size. It also does not honor the
Run: Maximized property setting. I assume this fell off the table somewhere.

Okay, no one can say I'm impatient and not willing to wait for the implementation of saving the window settings, but how difficult can this be?

Isn't almost 3 years enough time? Okay, you're are all fired!

Marcin? RuberDucky?

Is this still planned or should I just put it in the category - not planning to implement?

Al

[exile360]

We do plan to implement it at some point, however I do not know when it will happen at this time.
