requesters jump around

Hello,

in a program I call several requesters consecutively (Pathrequester, OpenFileRequester,..).

The requesters positon somewhere on the screen: left/right/top/bottom (but always inside the visible area). I can't see a system. It looks foolish.

Is it normal? Or how can one control the positioning?

Thanks../tomio

Someone a while back (can't remember who) made a little sample code that let you control where the requesters should appear. (I think the placement is relative to the currently active window, so if i'm not misstaken the code basicly opened a invisible window and then called up the requester.)

No, this does not work.
Thank you anyway, Pupil.
