Deployment Method:

NOTE

This applies to both open source and commercial editions of Chocolatey.

1. Enter Your Internal Repository Url

(this should look similar to https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/)


2. Setup Your Environment

1. Ensure you are set for organizational deployment

Please see the organizational deployment guide

2. Get the package into your environment

  • Open Source or Commercial:
    • Proxy Repository - Create a proxy nuget repository on Nexus, Artifactory Pro, or a proxy Chocolatey repository on ProGet. Point your upstream to https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/. Packages cache on first access automatically. Make sure your choco clients are using your proxy repository as a source and NOT the default community repository. See source command for more information.
    • You can also just download the package and push it to a repository Download

3. Copy Your Script

choco upgrade restorewindowpos -y --source="'INTERNAL REPO URL'" [other options]

See options you can pass to upgrade.

See best practices for scripting.

Add this to a PowerShell script or use a Batch script with tools and in places where you are calling directly to Chocolatey. If you are integrating, keep in mind enhanced exit codes.

If you do use a PowerShell script, use the following to ensure bad exit codes are shown as failures:


choco upgrade restorewindowpos -y --source="'INTERNAL REPO URL'" 
$exitCode = $LASTEXITCODE

Write-Verbose "Exit code was $exitCode"
$validExitCodes = @(0, 1605, 1614, 1641, 3010)
if ($validExitCodes -contains $exitCode) {
  Exit 0
}

Exit $exitCode

Package Approved

This package was approved as a trusted package on 07 May 2024.

Description

Whenever I connect/disconnect a monitor, all of my windows jump around, resize and teleport to places they are not meant to be in.

This project aims to fix this behaviour by taking regular snapshots of window positions. Once it detects a display being connected/disconnected, it will restore windows to their last known positions on that display.

You can also define rules for windows with specific titles and/or created by specific programs. Rules will be automatically applied to matching windows that are not part of your current snapshot (eg: windows that have been created since a snapshot was last taken). You can also give these rules memorable names, and apply any and/or all of them at any time

## Package Parameters

You can supply a parameter to this package to have it run RestoreWindowPos immediately after it has
been installed/upgraded. For example:
choco install restorewindowpos --params '"/StartAfterInstall"'

tools\VERIFICATION.txt
VERIFICATION
Verification is intended to assist the Chocolatey moderators and community
in verifying that this package's contents are trustworthy.

### Verifying the downloaded EXE

You can use the checksum package from chocolatey, or something like Python to get the checksum.

Using the checksum package:
```
choco install checksum
checksum -t sha256 C:/path/to/file.exe
```
Using Python:
```
import hashlib
print(hashlib.sha256(open('C:/path/to/file.exe', 'rb').read()).hexdigest())
```

The executable is generated using Pyinstaller and the chocolatey package is built through GitHub Actions.
You can view the build pipelines [here](https://github.com/Crozzers/RestoreWindowPos/actions).

### Verifying the software vendor

This software is available through the official [GitHub page](https://github.com/Crozzers/RestoreWindowPos)
and through this Chocolatey package. If you wish to verify the vendor of the software, send an email
to [the author](mailto:[email protected]).

Log in or click on link to see number of positives.

In cases where actual malware is found, the packages are subject to removal. Software sometimes has false positives. Moderators do not necessarily validate the safety of the underlying software, only that a package retrieves software from the official distribution point and/or validate embedded software against official distribution point (where distribution rights allow redistribution).

Chocolatey Pro provides runtime protection from possible malware.
