Re: [Evolution] looking for a feature....



waaaaa!

it seems like kde stores the position and size of a window
in combination with his internal name or something like that.
i don't know exactly.

so my "Store Settings" - hint won't work for long...
First time you click "Send / Receive" the statuswindow
pops up. seems like it has the same name as the composer-
window. result is, that the settings stored just one
seconds before got overwritten with the position and
size of the statuswindow...

next time you click "New Mail" it will open as tiny as
the statuswindow and will only resize to fit the
minimum needs for some gui elements needed in this
window...

wuaaaa. *g*

hehe... found it. it's really easy....

just for info if anyone beside me uses evo under kde
and wants to save window-positions...

when the window is open and has the position and size
you want... just right-click on the window-top-bar
and select "Store Settings"

from this moment on the window always opens as left
bevore. :)

morning :)

no i don't have the window-placement set on "smart".
it was set to random.

to the size-"problem"> the main window isn't the problem.
it's just as you told. it remembers the size and position
and starts maximized.

hmmm... i think i should post my question at the kde-
mailinglist....

thanks.. :)

I use Evolution under KDE also, and it does save the window size (see
below for position comments).  Evolution always opens with the main
window, and all its panes sized exactly as they were when I exited the
last session.

the "problem" is, that whenever i click for new mail the
composerwindow opens but is very small. i must maximize it
to work with it. thats not really a problem but its not
funny.

This, kind of, is a preference thing.  The composer window is the same
size when in the gnome desktop.  I personally like it bigger (since I
use a larger font), and adjust it, but maybe it's fine for most people,
it just doesn't remember your adjustments.  It's not a KDE issue, as the
mail viewing window opens at the same size as the composer window
initially, then I resize it, and all other mail viewing windows open
using my new size - until I exit Evolution and start a new session (it
just doesn't save that parameter across sessions).  I would like it if
it would remember the composer and viewer window sizes across sessions,
but it's no biggie for me.

also the window for the status while waiting for 
connecting, and receiving new mail always opens in the top
left corner. it would be more "beautifully" if it opens
centered to the screen. :)

Do you have KDE set to use "Smart Placement" of windows?  If so, it
tries to find open desktop space (starting at the upper left window) to
place new windows.  Turning that option off may, or may not, make a
difference.

perhaps evo can open the window with a size that fulfills
the standard requirements of a normal user... and tries to
center the window. perhaps just optional...

See my second paragraph........
