Read_default webdialog position on OSX

Can one read that on mac ? (Doesn't work on windows registry)
Sketchup.read_default("WebDialog_whatever", "Left")

There's no Ruby-side method to read a webdialog's position, you can just set its position.
You can get the window's position on the js-side, then pass that back to Ruby with a suitable callback...
Ruby-side:

@dlg.add_action_callback('window_position'){|d, p|
  self.do_something_with_window_position(p)
}
###
def self.do_something_with_window_position(p)
  ### 'write_default' with 'p' as the string - e.g. "123,456"
end
### just before making the dlg 'read_default' to get 'p' - e.g. "123,456" 
### - use a default - say "20,20" if it is the first time, so no key/value...
### then...
  a = p.split(',')
  x = a[0].to_i
  y = a[1].to_i
### position the dlg thus;
  @dlg.set_position = x, y

JS-side [jquery example]:

$(window).bind("beforeunload", function(e) { 
  window.location = 'skp;window_position@'+(window.screen.left)+','+(window.screen.top);
});

So just before the window closes the callback gets the current x,y...

If you then store these with 'write_default' the dlg's window can be opened in the same position as last time on MAC [read_default] - it already is for a named dlg on the PC ?

I think I have a trick up my sleeve... but not on this machine...

Thanks TIG!
I was thinking about using something like that, but it has to consider the window border.

macs don't have window borders...

available using vanilia.js from one of my webDialogs...
