Re: Easytag on Mac OS, window sizing problem

["Nicholas Sheppard" <nps nps id au>]

I got some improvements by reducing the font size in my global GTK+ configuration. (Of course this affects all of your other GTK+ applications as well, which may or may not be what you want.)

 

I'm not sure how it works on a Mac but for Linux I can either use the "Customize Look and Feel" application that comes with my distribution (Debian), or I can edit the $HOME/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini file directly. The latter method also works for Windows though the results haven't been as good.

 

For my Linux machine (a netbook), reducing the font size to 7 or 8 made the window fit onto the screen reasonably nicely. My Windows machine (a larger laptop) still has quite a bit of padding inside text entry areas, and the toolbar icons are quite large. I gather that GTK+ has ways of manipulating such things but it's complicated and I don't know if or how to make them work with EasyTAG. Are there any GTK+ gurus out there who can tell me what the names of the properties might be?

It works okay except for a window sizing bug.  When I start

EasyTAG, it takes up all of the vertical space in the display

and extends a few lines below the bottom of the display,

underneath the dock.  As a result, I can't see much of the Log

area.

 

I can maximize EasyTAG to take over the whole screen area and

then un-maximize it, and that brings the bottom into the display

area, but I still can't see all of the Log area.  At this point,

the resize widget at lower right can be seen, but it will let me

resize horizontally only.

 

There is a long-standing open bug about the application window not fitting on small screens:

 

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=689438

 

If it is not possible to resize the window vertically, this is probably the reason. You could try disabling the log area, but other than that there is little that can be done to reduce the vertical size of the window.

 

I'm using EasyTAG 2.4.3 (via MacPorts) on Mac OS Sierra 10.12.2,

although these symptoms first appeared months ago.  Error

messages on startup are as follows:

 

(easytag:23494): Gtk-WARNING **: Failed to get the GNOME session proxy: The name org.gnome.SessionManager is not owned

 

(easytag:23494): Gtk-WARNING **: Failed to get the Xfce session proxy: The name org.xfce.SessionManager is not owned

 

(easytag:23494): Gtk-WARNING **: Failed to get an inhibit portal proxy: The name org.freedesktop.portal.Desktop is not owned

 

These seem related to the lack of a D-Bus session. I do not know how that is handled under MacPorts, but the session manager and inhibit functionality of GtkApplication is not used by EasyTAG at the moment, so this is unrelated to the window sizing problem.
