Other Area

[NameNotShort]

Hi. When I start notepad, my “Other Area” is always on the left, even though I placed it on the right before I closed it. How can I make the “Other Area” always be where I placed it before I closed the notepad?

Also, when you open the notepad, it does not save the position of the dividing line (Other Area).

@БС ,

Notepad++ stores which files are in “view 1” and “view 2” in %AppData%\notepad++\session.xml (or equivalent location)

Notepad++ stores whether it is a “vertical split” (left and right views) or “horizontal split” (top and bottom views) in %AppData%\notepad++\config.xml (or equivalent location) as <GUIConfigs>...<GUIConfig name="ScintillaViewsSplitter">... .

However, Notepad++ does not store which pane (left/right or top/bottom) is considered “view 1”; when Notepad++ initially loads, it puts the “view 1” files in the left or top view, and “view 2” files in the other. And, as you said, Notepad++ does not store what percentage of the window is taken up by “view 1” vs “view 2”.

That is the way that Notepad++ works currently.
