Chat location and tab settings.

I cannot seem to figure out how to save my chat frame location and tab settings.

I have a few extra tabs showing and rezised/moved the chat window a bit. When I log onto another toon and load my ui chat just reverts to default. How do I save this? Or is the chat frame unable to be saved..

The chat settings are per character in a file called ... chat-cache.txt in your WTF/Account/ACCOUNTNAME/SERVER/CHARACTER folder.

One of WoW's great annoyances. Is it actually possible to have an addon monitor chat settings and profile them, so we don't have to move chat-cache for every new character?

Dunno if this will help....but you can stop it from being moved like this.

Code:

-- Placing the frame

ChatFrame1:ClearAllPoints()

ChatFrame1:SetPoint("BOTTOMLEFT", UIParent, "BOTTOMLEFT", 30, 30)

ChatFrame1:SetUserPlaced(nil)



-- You may need to block it from being moved by other addons / BlizzUI

local dummy = function() end

ChatFrame1.ClearAllPoints = dummy

ChatFrame1.SetPoint = dummy

I don't remember who posted it originally or I would give them credit for it. Perfect way to stop the chat frame from being moved.

Thanks for all the relplies. It really isnt that hard to move. Setting up the tabs is abit annoying though.

As Xrystal said, it's saved to a file in your WTF folder. All you have to do, blkdrgn, is copy/paste the file to your other characters.
