Topic: xtra MIDI PLaylist Window no resizing possible

Hello everybody,

an enthusiastic new organteq user here.

Really enjoying the software!

Right now I have a little problem:
When I open the xtra MIDI Playlist window it appears huge and going out of the viewable area of screen(s).
Unfortunately there is no way to resize the window.  Any ideas or hints how to reset the settings would be great.
Tried already to resize the prog via magnifier-option, but no dice - both the main prog and the MIDI-Playlist window seem to be independent.

Using Win 10 Pro here (22H2 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-13700K   3.40 GHz)

Did not see the option for direct image upload - but if this would be helpful I could make a screenshot and had zo upload it somewhere.

Edit: Installing the latest version over gave no change

This window is resizable, the lower right corner has a corresponding handle.
Do you see the right or left gray edge of the window? Sometimes it is possible to grab the window on this edge and move it up. So you could maybe get the bottom right corner of the screen.

Unfortunately no. When I open the MIDI Playlist the window appears huge and going out of screen downwards. Therefore I cannot reach the lower (left or) right corner.

Try this:
Set the smallest window size in the options
-> Interface magnification = tiny (50%)
close Organteq and reopen it.
Then open the playlist window. It should now also be displayed smaller, right?


Question: What screen resolution do you use?

Uff, that did it! Thanks a lot for helping me out here, Pat.
I tried the tiny (50%) resize before - though not with the restart. Now it worked - glad the silly problem could be solved.

I suspect the problem returns when you close Organteq and reopen it in the usual size.
Unfortunately, Organteq does not remember the position and size of this window.
This issue should be fixed in an update

Yes, you're right - was a tad too early. It returned.
When I downsized to 50% again, opened the midi playlist window it was small. And even after restarting with 50% and it stayed when sizing back to normal without closing the prog. But after restarting with bigger size, bang it's there again.
It seems that Organteq remembers position and size from the main window only. 
Thanks again
