default window size too small

[Nanley Chery]

Binary package hint: f-spot

When first starting F-Spot, the user is presented with an ugly window size that does not show all important information at once. F-Spot should adjust it's size to fit all necessary information (or as much as they user's resolution can handle). Screenshots of the original size and attempts to improve it are included below.

I couldn't reproduce it with 0.4.1-1. I tried temporarily deleting F-Spot settings, and then it started maximized.

Does this bug still occur with that version?

[Nanley Chery (nanoman)]

This is still a problem - I am using Hardy Heron Alpha 4.

Do you use Compiz?

[Nanley Chery (nanoman)]

No.

thansk for the report, that should be fixed with f-spot 0.4.4 can you reproduce the bug with it? there's also an upstream report similar to this one here http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=525257 ; thanks.

I was about to open this exact bug. I'm getting a very small window after first launching f-spot on a fresh intrepid install. The version is 0.4.4.

[Pedro Villavicencio (pedro)]

can you comment upstream about that? thanks.

[Pedro Villavicencio (pedro)]

no response, closing the bug, thanks.

I still have this problem in Hardy, and I don't have a gnome account to file a report. Why was this closed exactly?

[Nanley Chery (nanoman)]

This is no longer a problem with the new default window/tag structure in Intrepid. Although it doesn't show by default (Bug #286490), the problem would not exist if a user expanded the sidebar.
