Re-position windows

[ricede]

Not sure if this is the right place to post this. If not please move.

Some apps - system prefs / Messages etc can be set to open anywhere on the screen, by placing them in a certain place. They keep this new position until changed again.

Some apps - Handbrake / Qucktime 7 / Sound Studio for example, have, when opened, a preset position on the screen & always open in the same place, no matter where one places them.

Can anyone tell me how i can alter it, so that they open in a different position on the screen, by default. There must be settings somewhere to alter this position, but so far i haven't been able to find where.

Maybe: Stay. I have not tried it, but it's the accepted answer to a question in Ask Different: A window manager that re-sizes and re-arranges ALL the windows for a given application with one keyboard shortcut?

Also: What Window Management Options exist for OS X?

Many years ago I took a scripted approach to tidy stacking of windows, but that was probably before Mac OS X.

Thanks for all the info - 'Stay' looks like it might do the job.

I use Moom for something similar. Might be worth a look for you.
