default pane positions are fail sauce
Last modified: 2009-08-10 13:40:49 UTC
Our default setup for panes in pitivi is so wrong that we were even made fun of at guadec, at 1m40s in this talk: http://www.geeksoc.org/gcds/LT:%20Matthew%20Paul%20Thomas,%20Common%20interface%20bloopers.ogv <twi_> FAIL ah that bug :( that's really sad there's been a bug for that forever i was making fun of it with a friend of mine today (actually, he was making fun of me :\) <nekohayo> the default size thing? <twi_> yes <nekohayo> I thought you folks were giving me the "it should fit on a netbook" excuse :) <twi_> i certainly wasn't <nekohayo> then we should make it much bigger by default and with panes correctly positioned <twi_> i don't care too much about the window size, but the panes are wrong in every possible way. Is there a bug about that (the panes) ? if so make it a blocker please, it's about time we fix it
definitely blocker and should be fixed ASAP. Two problems (which are one). 1. default overall size. We should make PiTiVi startup maximized by default 2. Wrong pane prioritization The goal would be to have the viewer always expand as much as possible... and the sourcelist/timeline not expanded unless the user chooses otherwise.
