Forget-Me-Not by Nathaniel Gray & David Noblet FMN is Obsolete: =============== Forget-Me-Not does not work reliably on any OS X since Leopard was released. I make the source available in hopes that somebody with more time than myself will be able to make it work again. Many of the failures are revealed when using Spaces. Others appear if your laptop screen is configured on one side of your external monitor but not the other. I mention this so that you don't get too excited if it works for you -- that doesn't mean it'll work for everyone. HOWEVER, there are those who say they've been using it on Leopard and it's worked well enough. I myself do use it -- it doesn't *always* help, but it sometimes does and it doesn't seem to hurt. About: ===== Forget-Me-Not is a background application that keeps track of the positions and sizes of your windows. When you change the configuration of your screens (e.g. by connecting or disconnecting an external monitor from a notebook) FMN does two things: 1. Before the configuration changes, it saves the states (positions and sizes) of your windows. 2. After the configuration changes, it moves and resizes your windows to match the way they were laid out the last time you were in this configuration. Installation: ============ Double-click on the Forget-Me-Not.prefpane file. You should get a dialog asking if you want to install the preference pane for yourself or all users of the computer. Either choice is fine. Now launch System Preferences. There should be a new preference pane at the bottom, in the "Other" section, called Forget-Me-Not. Click on the preference pane to launch Forget-Me-Not. Upgrading: ========= Before upgrading to a new version of FMN, go to the Forget-Me-Not preference pane and click the Quit button to stop any running version of Forget-Me-Not. Once that is done, follow the instructions above for Installation. Reporting Problems: ================== If you have any problems with Forget-Me-Not, please open an issue at github. You can also send an e-mail to n8gray <at> n8gray /dot/ org but I'm notorious about dropping these things on the floor if there isn't an issue report to remind me. Source Code: =========== You can get the source code for FMN by using GIT (http://git-scm.com). Our code is hosted at github: http://github.com/n8gray/forget-me-not License: ======= Forget-Me-Not is licensed under the GNU Lesser GPL. See the LICENSE.txt file for details.
