如何保存Open Text Exceed的窗口大小与位置？解决SAS环境启动后窗口重置问题

Hey there, I’ve dealt with this exact annoying issue when using Exceed to run SAS—having to re-adjust window sizes and positions every single launch is such a time-waster! Here are the tried-and-true fixes to get your layout sticking:

1. Save Layout Directly via Exceed Session Manager #

This is the simplest and most reliable method for most users:

• Launch your SAS session, resize and position all windows exactly how you want them.
• Open the Exceed Session Manager: You can right-click the Exceed icon in your system tray and select it, or find it in your Start Menu under OpenText Exceed.
• Locate your active SAS session in the list, right-click it, and choose Save Settings (or Save Window Layout—labeling varies slightly by Exceed version).
• Close and restart your SAS session—your saved window state should load automatically.

2. Manually Edit the Session Configuration File #

If the first method doesn’t stick (common with shared or locked configurations), tweak the config file directly:

• Close all Exceed and SAS windows completely.
• Navigate to your Exceed config folder—typically C:\Program Files\OpenText\Exceed\config or C:\Users\[YourUsername]\AppData\Roaming\OpenText\Exceed.
• Find your SAS session’s config file (look for .xwc or .xsf extensions, named something like SAS.xwc).
• Open the file in Notepad, then search for lines containing WindowGeometry, Position, or Size. For example:

  WindowGeometry=150,150,1200,900
  

  (The numbers represent X position, Y position, width, height—adjust them to match your preferred layout.)
• Save the file, then restart your SAS session. The custom geometry should now load.

3. Enable Global Window Saving in Exceed Settings #

Make sure Exceed is set to auto-save window states by default:

• Right-click the Exceed system tray icon and select Exceed Configuration.
• In the config window, navigate to Window Management or Session Defaults (depending on your version).
• Look for an option like Save window position and size on exit and check the box.
• Click Apply then OK, then restart Exceed to make sure the setting takes effect.

Quick Note About SAS-Specific Layouts #

Occasionally, SAS’s own layout settings can override Exceed’s. Try this too:

• In your SAS session, go to the top menu bar and select Window > Save Layout.
• Name the layout (e.g., "Default SAS Layout") and check the box to set it as the default layout for future sessions.
