GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 744083
Add the ability to maximize the window by default
Last modified: 2019-02-22 03:16:23 UTC
I understand that by default, when we open an image, the window is adapted to the resolution of the image, while leaving space for other applications. Now, I shall like to have the possibility to maximize the window by default if I want. By a dconf option or by ensuring that the program can remember my previous choices. It's really annoying to have to systematically maximize manually my windows. ps: sorry for my english, or if the message seems to be a little violent, it's not my native language.
Should be possible using eog's plugin system, I think. The plugin would be a "window plugin" which will be automatically activated for each window that is created. It would then simply maximize it.
This became part of the eog-plugins package and just implements the most simple approach. It maximizes all windows it is activated for, which hits all new ones. There is no magic, that determines whether a window qualifies for unmaximizing when the plugin is deactivated. commit afd89b4eb4d3acb0e3ab6e54c51cc70b88f6f253 Author: Felix Riemann <> Date: Sun Feb 8 18:39:33 2015 +0100 maximize-windows: New plugin that opens windows maximized https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744083 --- This problem has been fixed in the development version.
