Restore Windows on Start

[mattekure]

Is there a reason the Restore Windows on Start doesnt also select the player character on login? As a GM, the feature is awesome. As a player, when the desktop loads, all the windows pop up covering up both the Message of the Day and the Char Selection window, forcing me to move everything around to find it. Could those two windows be delayed to always pop up last so that they appear on top or have the character selected automatically?

Restoring player selection doesn't have anything to do with Restoring Windows. However, this is something on my personal list, since my players seem to struggle with that too.

The load order of the character selection window is supposed to be after all the windows restored; so I'll take a look.

that would be great, thanks. Having the char selection and MOTD load on top of all the other windows would be perfect for players logging on.

I second that! Also wouldn't mind MOTD popping up for GM on load...

Ok, just pushed an update to add MotD into the default window ordering on launch for both GM and Player in the Test channel.
The Character Selection window already was appearing correctly on my side. (Try without extensions, if you are running any.)

For display ordering on initial launch (from top to bottom), the current logic is:
Setup -> Character Selection (Player only) -> MotD -> All Other Previously Open Windows (based on user option)

I still plan to look at the automatic player selection, but I'll need to try a few things.

Love it! Thanks!!

"Show Message of the Day to GM on Load" can probably be removed from the Wish List if this goes live.

Automatic player login to Owned characters was added to the beta Test version yesterday.
