GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 323204
EOG no longer resizes window according to image size
Last modified: 2006-06-12 16:50:13 UTC
Version details: 2.13.2 Distribution/Version: Ubuntu Breezy EOG used to resize the window according to the size of the image opened. Now EOG seems to remember the last window size and restore that regardless of the image size. This is annoying because I now always need to resize the window manually.
I confirm this. BTW, I'm thinking about changing a litle bit the EOG window resizing behavior. There'll be a minimal initial window size. If the image is bigger than this minimal size, the window resizes according to the image size. If the smaller, the minimal size is used. This is because now EOG is more image collection oriented and having a too small window is not nice when you can easily switch to next image.
Ubuntu bug about that: http://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=21660
Done. Fixed in HEAD. Thanks! 2005-01-07 Lucas Rocha <lucasr@gnome.org> * shell/eog-window.c: resize window according to the image dimensions (Fixes bug #323204). Also, now there's a "minimal" window size that will be used if the image is smaller than that.
I'd like to suggest one further refinement to this. I use EOG mainly to view individual images without the toolbar, statusbar, image collection or image information visible and I used to really like how EOG showed me just the image in an appropriately sized window and nothing else. I understand that EOG is more image collection orientated now, but could the minimum window size be used only when the image collection is visible?
