Save window positions, dimensions and search history across session (4.53 KB, patch)
2005-10-17 17:14 UTC, Debajyoti Bera 		none Details | Review

Description Adolfo González Blázquez 2005-05-19 15:48:01 UTC 
Version details: 0.0.9
Distribution/Version: Ubuntu Hoary

Beagle Search Tool should remeber the last window posisition and geometry. Now
it does it in the same Best session. But when you close Best and open it again,
Best appears in the upper left corner again.

What it should do is, launch Best, move window, quit Best. Then launch Best
again and the window should be where you last show it.

I'm using Beagle 0.0.9 and Mono 1.1.7.

Thanks, 

Adolfo

With latest changes on 0.11, the best window positions itself randomly. It seems
that best tries to put the window next to another opened window.

I just want Best to show on the upper right corner always, and I think this
behaviour is easier for people to understand: "the search util open always in
the same position with the same size"

Thanks again!

Good catch, I've just checked in a fix for the bug where it wasn't consistent
within a session.  The original bug (that it doesn't save itself across
invocations) is still there, though.

Save window positions, dimensions and search history across session

Implemented using Util/Conf.cs, store the settings in
.beagle/config/searching.xml (that seemed to be right place to store searching
related settings e.g. access key, autostart preference).

Looks good to commit.
Comment 5 Debajyoti Bera 2005-10-17 21:37:23 UTC 
Patch in CVS. Should be fixed now.
