material editor window ran away

Post by [cc]z@nd! »

seriously, i can't find it. i hit the M key and it doesn't show up. when i had dual monitors i think i moved it over to the second one for some reason, so now when i open it it opens on it's last opened location, which i think is on my un-connected monitor. i tried going to file>reset to reset the ui, but that's just colors and viewports, and doesn't fix my problem. do any of you guys have any ideas on how to fix this, because i want to start modeling now, and not have to wait to hook up my other monitor in 3 weeks.

BTW: does anyone have the files for this tutorial they can send me, or a mirror? whenever i download the files, they end up corrupted.

i'll try that. sounds like it would make sense; from a programming standpoint, an ini file like that would be a perfect place to store the last co-ordinates of a window so it opens at a specific place even after exiting the program.

thankfully my linux experience tells me to backup this file before i delete it, doing so has gotten me out of stickier situations before.

edit: aaahhh, worked perfectly! thanks!
