Hi 
For those of you who have been wishing that the QR panels would remember their size and position, I just discovered that this little (free) app that is intended to allow just that for Windows’ File explorer actually works with Scrivener’s windows. 
It runs in the background. All you have to do is set your window the way you want it and hit the key combination (Ctrl-Alt-Z ; it has only this one) so that it learns the parameters.
It adds the window in a list, based on the title bar’s reported name. — So just don’t have two documents with the same name if you want them to display differently from each other in a QR.
After that, every time you open the document in a QR panel, it sets it to the previously saved size and position.
That’s it. Simple as that.
(I’ve been using it for Windows File Explorer for a good while, now, and without any issues. )

Interesting! It appears to be written in AutoHotKey.
I’ll definitely give it a try, although what I really want is for Scrivener to reopen all previously opened QRs when a project is reopened.
Best,
Jim
Not perfect, but if you add those documents to a new / dedicated collection, select them all from there and click 
, you’ll get that.
You might even be able to AHK this.
Anyways, of course, it can’t give Scrivener orders and doesn’t. All it does is recognize windows…
Yeah, that’s a great idea.
Just before I close a project, I’ll add the QRs that I want reopened to a collection dedicated to that purpose. An AHK script running Documents > Add to Collection should be able to handle that, although I would probably need to run it multiple times, once for each QR window.
Then when I reopen the project & launch all the QRs in the collection, the WinSiz2 utility should remember where they were.
I’ll circle back here & let you know how it works!
Best,
Jim

I was actually thinking of the “open collection, select all, display as” part. As a AHK script.
Say you name that collection so it is always listed first, that should be scriptable.
You could also use the status + project search, instead. (If not using status already.) That’d give you a quick, easy and accessible way to toggle which documents to display in their QRs on project open.
Heck, now that I think of it, it could also be as simple as a dedicated symbol inserted in your documents, at the top (or whatever), in the title or editor + project search.
You can have compile remove it, so it is not a nuisance whenever you compile.
[EDIT] In the title would actually be a bad idea, since that’s how the app recognizes the windows…
