1800x1200 pixel size of Whiteboard can not be changed

[Ash321]

I am running 0.96.2 and 0.96.4.1 on a Windows XP SP2 Core-2-Duo Machine.

I tried changing the preferences for the whiteboard and change the default 1800x1200 sized sheet to smaller size to fit my screen resolution (1440x900). It never saves that preference (whether I click on "save preferences in the same directory" or Not).

I believe that changing the default to make it the minimum of your screen resolution and your collaborator's screen resolution will be a good thing. Coccinella doesn't track where the collaborator's cursor is, so:

1) If you and the collaborator are running 1024x768 resolution on their monitors AND the collaborator is writing in the bottom right corner of the 1800x1200 sheet and you are looking at top left corner, How will you know whats going on. It will be better if both parties are on a "common minimum resolution" for enhanced usability.

There is a skype plugin called talkandwrite which does this well. You can borrow some ideas on screen management from there.

Cheers.

I had some constraints:

    # Whiteboard scrollregion.
    set prefs(canScrollWidth) 1800
    set prefs(canScrollHeight) 1200
    set prefs(mincanScrollWidth) 1800
    set prefs(mincanScrollHeight) 1200

    if {$tmpPrefs(canScrollWidth) < $prefs(mincanScrollWidth)} {
 set tmpPrefs(canScrollWidth) $prefs(mincanScrollWidth)
    }
    if {$tmpPrefs(canScrollHeight) < $prefs(mincanScrollHeight)} {
 set tmpPrefs(canScrollHeight) $prefs(mincanScrollHeight)
    }

which now instead read:

    set prefs(mincanScrollWidth) 600
    set prefs(mincanScrollHeight) 400
