When I compare two files, the File comparator (plugin) window gets positioned too far to the left, under my (vertical!) Windows button bar:

Interesting. It appears that FileComp does not honor non-auto-hiding TaskBar (when on top or left side) when it positions its window.

It looks like incompatible functions' return values and parameters.

mdruiter, what about internal text viewer (F3 on text file), does it open exactly above Salamander?

The internal text viewer, PictView and Eroiica Viewer all position correctly: exactly above Salamander.

It seems to be similar problem as was in internal beta of DiskMap plugin (v0.5.25) - by using GetWindowPlacement() (which uses workspace coordinates) instead of GetWindowRect() which uses screen coordinates, which are usable by CreateWindow() taht uses screen coordinates as well.

The problem has been fixed for the next version of Salamander (2.52).

Confirmed!
