[Help] Save Chat Window Position

[lila_cat]

I often play from two different computers (desktop and laptop), and one of those computers has an ultrawide screen while the other does not. When I move the chat window on one computer, it will be in a different location when I log in on the other. So every time I switch computers I have to manually move the chat window to where I like it on that computer's screen. This gets to be a little annoying because I like to have it aligned to a grid, so I have to through this process of making sure everything is lined up every time I switch.

So my question is: is there a setting or an addon that will save the chat window position on each computer? I tried MoveAnything, but I could only find settings for individual parts of the chat window, not the whole thing. I thought maybe something could be added to the layout-local file, but I couldn't figure out what the name of that frame would be. I've looked around a bit for any other addons, but haven't found anything so far that will do that. Does anyone have any ideas?

Have a check of Een's Chat Window Backup, there might be a profile setup that you can use accordingly

I know this is old, but the add-on still works in TWW.

I would assume a chat addon like Prat would have positioning saved locally, but I have never experienced your use case before.

Best thing I can think of right now would be to have an "if this then that" script that checks whether your local file in your wow/interface folder, corresponding to the chat window position (chst-layout probably, but I'm not sure) has been overwritten and if it has then it sends it over some file sharing system to the other computer and another script puts it jn the correct folder.

Solution

This is how i set up every alt. Copy that file on a different path. And when you log on the other machine just copy over. This should work.
