Save toolbar and screen configurations and locations
I run InfoWorks on my laptop, and have an external monitor. I find I'm often searching for toolbar buttons because switching between the two monitors of different sizes re-configures the locations of the various toolbars and screens.
For example, on my external monitor there is enough room to have the User Actions toolbar displaying, but my laptop is smaller and there is no longer enough room for it, so instead of two rows it bumps down to three and moves my toolbars all around. Adding in profiles or even a scrollable space for the toolbars so the ones to the left do not move would help.

Please can this feature be looked at. As I often have to manually re-arrange toolbars to work with the software. I work with colleagues that have got so fed up they just leave the toolbars all stacked up to the left and work within the letterbox that's left for the network window.

Agree with Bradley: my toolbars get messed up simply if I 'Restore down' and then 'Maximise' the window! Have to restore the default and then customise all over again - this must be a bug?

Toolbar behavior is very fiddly even at the best of times. As a good example, set ICM to windowed mode and shrink the width to as small as possible, now all of the toolbars are stuck to the left hand side in multiple layers. Moving the width back to normal doesn't change anything and the toolbars need to be moved manually back into position. If the Toolbars are Customized to Lock Positions they'll still move when the window is resized and you'll need to unlock them to put them back into place.
An option to export toolbar positions/visibility would let you load the layout you wanted if things were messed up. This would also allow you set different toolbar layouts depending on the required workflow or bring your layout with you when updating to a newer version.
