In the same vein, is there some workbench oriented way to copy the snapshot location of the main disk window when copying a disk to ram:? I get all the icons in their right locations, and all the other windows come out right, but I always have to resize, reshape, and relocate the main window to fit the icons when I copy my workbench to ram: to run; somewhere the snapshot information for this window is getting lost. This is a real nuisance, because I like my workbench window to be tall and skinny, with lots of nice stuff like sclock and vt100 and gfxmem icons in it, and have it fit side by side with a tall skinny system window, which also has lots of neat junk in it, rather than ahveing them come up blocky and overlapped. I can get everything but the main window to stay right on a copy, but that is always messed up. No big deal, but can anybody tell me a (non-programming) way to fix it automatically, rather than by hand?
