qBittorrent version and Operating System

v4.2.5

What is the problem

When opening the torrent by double-clicking the file and qBittorrent was not open, the dialog to choose files and download location always shows up in top right of the screen rather than centered.

What is the expected behavior

It should be centered :)

Steps to reproduce

Don't have qBT opened
Open a .torrent or magnet file

Hmmm nope, just tried it - it's still there. Just having qBT completely closed, clicking on a magnet link or .torrent and it opens, but download dialog is in top right....

Can't reproduce on windows 10 pro x64 10.0.19042 (20H2) with 4.3.0.1
Had qBittorrent closed.
Double clicked a torrent file.
Program opens & torrent dialog box appears in the centre.

What OS are you running?

@thalieht How did you reproduce this? Can you still reproduce it, at least with default settings?

Can't reproduce with 4.2.5 either.

Do you use duel monitors?
Increased scaling etc.

Yep 2x24" 1920x1200 monitors, but qBT is on one monitor only. 100% scaling.

Would you look at that.. doesn't happen with the default settings. I'll start deleting stuff from my .ini file until i find the culprit.

I found the culprit but it's not in the .ini

Steps to reproduce:

Have the qBt window not maximized
Move it somewhere that is not at the center of the screen (to illustrate the point)
Maximize it

From now on new torrent dialogs opened while qBt is not already open, will open at the center of qBt's position before it was maximized.

I can confirm those are the reproduction steps! My unmaximized window WAS in the top right corner somehow!
