[wishlist] Support for Remember the last open size

[picobird]

Could u set it remember the last open size,not to open a large window every time,especially Gwibber 2.0.

[habtool (clive-wagenaar)]

I agree with this idea
It also does not remember the size of the test input area (editor)

(This is on karmic kubuntu with gwibber 2.0.0)

the bug concerning size is reported here in bug 422525

[Sandy Armstrong (sanfordarmstrong)]

Fixes in this patch:
* Remember previous window size and position (Bug #422525) when starting Gwibber (it was already remembered on quit, no it's also remembered on window close)
* Remember previous account tree splitter position
* Remember previous input area size
* Do not change input area height when resizing main window (Bug #422532)
* Add ability to save and restore integer list preferences (but only integer lists...other lists would not be supported with this approach)

Wanted to fix but didn't get to:
* Actual text space in input area should not shrink when in reply mode (when that little toolbar thing appears in the input area) (Bug #422532)
* Remembering selected stream (Bug #422525)

Problems with this patch:
* Every time I start gwibber, the input area gets smaller. Clearly I'm doing something wrong here.

With Ken Vandine's help, figured out the problem with input area getting smaller (delay setting that splitter position by putting it in an idle_add call). He's got the updated patch in a branch.

merged into lp:gwibber, thanks for the patch!

[Sandy Armstrong (sanfordarmstrong)]

Sizes below a certain threshold are not properly saved even with this patch. This may be dependent on any number of thigs, I have not checked yet...but for me the width will always be restored to at least 398, and the height will always be restored to at least 334.

How do you apply the fix?

[J. Austin Rodriguez (jeanaustinr)]

Tried doing this in the Terminal:
   sudo patch p1 < size-and-position-fixes.patch

and it showed

patching file client.py

What's the matter?

[Sandy Armstrong (sanfordarmstrong)]

The fix was already applied back in October.

[Sandy Armstrong (sanfordarmstrong)]

(Actually September)

[J. Austin Rodriguez (jeanaustinr)]

I'm using Gwibber 2.0.0, applied the patch but it still the same. What could possibly the problem?

You need to close the app to have the window position saved. If the app is closed by logout it dosent save.
