--maximized has no effect (running qttabs under WinXP)

[eulores]

I execute leo by typing on the cmd command line:
python launchleo.py quickstart.leo --maximized
Other commands are accepted, tested with --minimized and with --no-splash

Actually, the main Leo window is maximized for a very brief moment, before being reset by the call to setTopGeometry() in method startVnodes of class saxContentHandler in file leoFileCommands.py.
If I comment out the call to setTopGeometry, then the window stays maximized.

Btw, my "fixedwindow" setting is only set in leoSettings.leo to False, neither appearing in myLeoSettings.leo nor in quickstart.leo. The documentation in leoSettings.leo still refers to this varaible as fixed_window (with an underscore).

Thanks for this detailed report. I'll fix it today.

The "canonical" representation of settings deletes '-' and '_' characters, and lowers the result, so these kinds of details, either in user settings or in Leo's code, do not matter.

The fix is on the trunk at rev 4382. Besides the --maximized option, the fix also affects the --minimized and --fullscreen options.

Edward,

When I start leo with launchleo.py testdoc.leo --fullscreen it still has no lasting effect. The --minimized option is working fine.
I see a brief flash which seems to be a fullscreen display but it reverts to the normal maximized display as eulores described.

I'm running build 4402.
Leo Log Window
Leo 4.9 rc1, build 4399, June 17, 2011
Python 2.7.2, qt version 4.7.2
Windows 6, 1, 7601, 2, Service Pack 1

Regards
Lewis

Both --maximized and --fullscreen are working for me with both the qt
and qttabs guis on Windows 7.

I'm not sure why you are having a problem, but we'll have to deal with
it after 4.9 final.
