Start-up settings to core AoI about artofillusion HOT 4 OPEN

Regarding Window size and position: Also, screen affinity. I've recently migrated to a dual-monitor setup, and I don't like the way that everything always opens on the one monitor.

re 3: do you mean save all of the viewport orientation/zoom per object? How does this differ from 4?

Very much yes to template scenes. That's been on my back-burner list for a while.

3 = on scene view, 4 = on object view.

I'd be easy to do 3 but 4 would need an addition to Object3D (or one/some of the sub levels) to make it happen.

A lighter way to implement 4 would be to auto fit the each object to views. I'd also have the right bottom view in an angle and in perspective mode, but user might have their reasons to adjust it to their liking --> Preference or template.

Java does not handle two/multiple monitiors very well. I have had a look at it before but probably not all possibilites. As I recall, there was some system specific stuff involved as each system has a different apporach to it...
