Maximise windows on opening by default

Buster95
When I open a new Gramps window, it opens at around 80% of the window size, infuriatingly just the right size to obscure some of the selection buttons. I am then obliged to maximise the window in order to access the selection buttons.

Is there a way to pre-select having the window open by default to full size?

That's a function of your OS (Windows/OSX) or DE (if Linux).

Re: Maximise windows on opening by default

Thanks Ron,
I use Ubuntu 11.10.
I have (so far) not found a way to selectively maximise (or even enlarge) Gramps windows without doing the same to all programs running on the system. Maximising a window on opening works well for me with Gramps, with its linked "drill-down" approach with layers of windows (most of which have select buttons on the bottom right - tantalisingly close but just out of "click" range).

Is there any preference setting which would allow me to re-size the windows just so I can more easily get at the select buttons?

Cheers

Re: Maximise windows on opening by default

Bugzilla from melsonr@earthlink.net
What you're asking is generally a function of your window manager.
So the question I'd ask is what window manager/desktop are you
using (e.g., Gnome, KDE, fvwm, ???)?   Knowing that might help
in arriving at an answer to your question.

Your screen seems awfully small!

There probably was back in the GNOME 1.x days.  Maybe in the early v2
revs, but certainly not in the you're-too-stupid-to-have-it-your-way era.

Maybe you mentioned it in your OP, but what if you run it Full Screen,
as opposed to Maximized?

Re: Maximise windows on opening by default

In reply to this post by Ron Johnson
I am using Gnome with the Unity 2D desktop.

The screen is a standard desktop flat display, so I can't imagine that this would be a factor. Besides, Gramps is the only program that exhibits this strange window behaviour. I thought that there may have been a preference selection that I failed to notice.

I have tried using the program with full screen as suggested, but then, when I press an edit (or any selectable icon), it immediately deselects full screen as the new window is raised.

I am still puzzled by the size of each newly opened window. On closer observation, the new image may not actually be smaller than the normal window it overlays, just offset down and to the right enough to obscure the selection buttons. Yet, when I do press the maximise button, the window assumes the correct size and position, as one would expect.

I'm getting the feeling that I will have to live with this annoying little quirk.

ps: tried to attach a screen grab but it defeated me!

Hi,


Did you try to run Gramps without menu proxy?

I do not have last Gnome versions, but maybe something like:

$ echo $UBUNTU_MENUPROXY
libappmenu.so
$ export UBUNTU_MENUPROXY=0 gramps
$ export UBUNTU_MENUPROXY=libapgmenu.so gramps

It looks like something around 'appmenu-gtk', 'appmenu-gtk3'

Does it solve something?



regards,
Jérôme

Thanks gentlemen,
I will try the suggestion Jerome and let you know if it changes anything.

Ron,
If my windows tiled like yours, I wouldn't complain. My Print Screen
doesn't seem to produce an output to show you.

Cheers

Re: Maximise windows on opening by default

jerome
Hi,


I made a mistake on the command...

It should be:

$ echo $UBUNTU_MENUPROXY
..
$ export UBUNTU_MENUPROXY=0
$ gramps

$ export UBUNTU_MENUPROXY=..
$ gramps

where '..' is the value from 'echo $UBUNTU_MENUPROXY'.

Note, this is not directly related to the window size but rather
something used on last Gnome versions, Ubuntu (Unity?) and Gtk applications.

Have a look at internet, menu proxy could change the applications
behavior. Gramps also uses common desktop things, like desktop's gtk themes.


Regards,
Jérôme

Re: Maximise windows on opening by default

"The morer I tries, the worser it gets!"

Rons screenshots inspired me to dig up a workaround for my screenshot problem. It worked - I now have screenshots.

Flushed with success, I decided to remove Gramps entirely from my system and then re-install it.

Fool, fool, fool - now I have an entirely different set of problems (but at least I can show you with my newly acquired screenshot capability).

When I open Gramps, it first takes me (via the usual tree selection box) to this:



The Gramps window does not fill the screen, although the menu is there at the top. It does not respond to F11 or to "full screen" via the menu bar. I could find no way to make it bigger.

The clipboard dialogue box opens where you would expect it. The reports and tools dialogue boxes open behind the main window and cannot be brought forward from behind it:


I'm still checking out the system to see what other surprises are in store for me and will update this thread as I learn more.

I would appreciate any guidance.

Did you originally mention that gramps is the only app that you have
this windowing problem with?

Re: Maximise windows on opening by default

Maybe, have a look at your .gramps/gramps33/gramps.ini file.

Use the mark for commented lines ';;' before 'width' line into the [Interface] section. This should use the default value on next gramps session.

Does it help?

Re: Maximise windows on opening by default

Benny Malengier
to me it seems like a unity problem.

Install kde-full or lxde package, and log into kde or lxde, and it
will normally work.

Unity tries to do things with the windows, but Gramps being a
old-style many windows program, that does not work (at least not on
your box)
Don't know if gnome3 can be installed on ubuntu. I'm using gramps with
kubuntu, and no issues.

The following is really not a solution for your real problem, but maybe an aid in your everyday issue. Did you know of the keystrokes to resize window and to move window?

First select the window. Then...

To move it, type Alt+F7, then use the arrow keys, left, right, up or down, to move the whole window in the desired direction.

To resize, type Alt+F8. You get a "hand" icon in the middle prompting you to select which edge to move. So do so with the arrow keys (left, right, up or down),  then move the selected window edge with the arrow keys. This works even if the edge is outside the visual screen, you may then have to click several times until you see the edge come inside your screen. When finished confirm with the Enter/Return key.

Because I really dislike Unity I have not converted into Ubuntu 11.10, but halted at 11.04. However these keystrokes work in "all" versions. They are configured via "System" - "Settings" - "Keyboard shortcuts" (possibly wrong designations, home-made translations from my Swedish Ubuntu).

When I open a new Gramps window, it opens at around 80% of the window size,
infuriatingly just the right size to obscure some of the selection buttons.
I am then obliged to maximise the window in order to access the selection
buttons.

Is there a way to pre-select having the window open by default to full size?

gnome3 can be installed under 11.10, just install gnome-shell

sudo apt-get install gnome-shell
When connecting, you have then 5 environment you can choose. In order of apparition:

Gnome >> gnome3
Gnome-Classic >> like gnome2 with effects
Gnome-Classic (no effects) >> like gnome2 without effects
Ubuntu >> Unity
Ubuntu 2D >> Unity with less effects

I personnaly choose 'Gnome-Classic (no effects) ', and haven't noticed such problems.

A+
