Jonathan,
Thanks for responding, but perhaps I did not make myself clear.
Here is an example of what is happening:
I double click on my disk icon Work:
This causes the window for that disk to open. I can position and resize
that window, display by name or icon, etc. With that window selected, I
can select snapshot- window or snapshot- all, and the new position and
configuration is saved to disk.
Now I double-click on the drawer named Autopilot. This opens another
window. I move this window where I want it, and display by name or icon.
With this window (Autopilot) selected, I select snapshot- window. No
response, nothing is written to disk. Snapshot- all has no effect
either.
Snapshot will not work on any drawer within the Work: partition, only the
window that opens when I double click on Work:. No other icons are
selected, no other windows are active. Snapshot used to work just fine
until a few days ago. I have reformatted my entire hard drive and
reinstalled the system software from the original disks. Right after the
installation, snapshot works like it should. I can add new drawers and
set them up as I choose, then snapshot to save the info. As soon as I
install ANY software – from the original, unmodified disks- snapshot no
longer works on ANY drawer within the Work: partition.
Snapshot is working just fine in my Sys: partition. I can open the Sys:
disk and open the Devs drawer and reposition it, display by name or icon,
and snapshot it and it works just fine. Then I go to any drawer within
the Work: partition and try the same thing- no effect. I know nothing is
happening, because my drive light does not even flicker.
This is very annoying, because all my windows open on top of each other
and I have to reposition them every time I use the computer.
If anyone can help, please tell me what I can do.
Right now I am about to use NEWZap to try to manually change the
location of the window when it opens.
Thanks for any and all info.
