Reboot resets the icon positions

[TyrannosaurHex]

Are the icons supposed to reset to outside the dozer dots after every reboot? Not sure if this is a bug or intended behaviour. I'm on Mojave 10.14.6.

Dozer has no control over the positions of the status bar icons so this is all done by macOS.

I also have this problem. Do you know of any way to stop macOS from rearranging the icons?

[Mortennn]

Unfortunately not :(

I think I might have found something that may contribute to this issue.

Running defaults read com.mortennn.Dozer in Terminal outputs this (notice the preferred positions):

{
    "NSStatusItem Preferred Position Item-0" = "161.5";
    "NSStatusItem Preferred Position Item-1" = "486.5";
    "NSStatusItem Preferred Position Item-2" = "161.5";
    "NSWindow Frame com.sindresorhus.Preferences.FrameAutosaveName" = "784 342 397 303 0 0 1440 877 ";
    SUEnableAutomaticChecks = 1;
    SUHasLaunchedBefore = 1;
    SULastCheckTime = "2019-10-04 22:32:00 +0000";
    SUSendProfileInfo = 0;
    hideAfterDelayEnabled = 1;
    noIconMode = 1;
    removeStatusIconEnabled = 1;
    toggleMenuItems = <...>;
}

I noticed the preferred positions and the lack of the names (aka remove, normalLeft, normalRight) and I quit and restarted Dozer and the remove icon and one of the normal ones swapped. Maybe (I don't know how they are stored currently) saving the preferred positions with the names would fix some of it?

Maybe setting the NSStatusItem.autosaveName will solve this issue? (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appkit/nsstatusitem/1644022-autosavename)

Is it related to #69

Or there any additional script one can run to make it happen?

[Mortennn]

@amarendra Yes, this is related to #69.

I will close this for now because it is not something Dozer has control over.
