Hi,

the question: what would be the most efficient method for
saving/reloading windows positions and dimensions so that the next time
the application is run, the windows would be reloaded with the saved
dimensions and positions?

(1) In Interface Builder, give it an autosave name.

(2) There is no step 2. You might read the documentation during the time
you saved not having to do step 2.

I see. Although this is not exactly what I was looking for (I don't want
it to be autosaved but rather saved as a result of a specific action)
but your quick hint was enough to point me to the possible solution.
Thank you.

You might have saved some time on typing step 2 description too ;-)
