[GRASS-dev] RE: [GRASS GIS] #130: wxgrass: Remember the position of gui windows on Grass exit
that's strange, see the attached screenshot. You can save default window dimension here, also workspace file now contains information about windows layout (can be suppressed in 'Workspace' tab in GUI preferences dialog, e.g. The problem was that I had an alias in my .bash_aliases file for g6 which is shorthand for 'grass63'. After the subversion repo had been tagged for the 6.3 release, trunk became grass6.4.svn, and I forgot to update my alias to point to the new grass installtion. I can confirm the workspace windows all line up to their previous positions. Thanks very much! ~ Eric. winmail.dat___ grass-dev mailing list grass-dev@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-dev

Comment (by martinl):
I have updated workspace file definition to store also window dimension
(position and size), r31034. When loading workspace all displays and layer
manager window are positioned based on information in workspace file (the
last time you saved the file). You can suppress positioning of displays
and layer manager separately in GUI user settings ('Config-Preferences').
Next step could be to enable user to store windows position as default and
override workspace settings or OS window positioning(?).

Comment (by hamish):
Eric:
I'd like to submit a request to have wxgrass remember the position of
the respective
gui windows on the monitor upon Grass exit, so that they may be restored
to the same
positions on Grass startup (alleviates the need to manually re-position
the windows
every time).
we did this for a short time with the tck/tk gui. IIRC the display window
was hinted to go into the top left, the layer manager to the top right,
and the output window to hug the bottom right corner.
specific window sizes and non-relative pixel placements were a problem
because some folks use 800x600 displays (old hardware; 7 car LCD;
OLPC/eeePC; ...)
it was then disccussed on the mailing list thread and decided that an app
should not override a user's window manager settings, and the hinting was
reverted.
Perhaps on Mac and Windows where the user has little or no control over
the window manager the binary packagers could patch that or some #ifdef
type thing could be triggered.
FWIW, here are my settings for gis.m windows from ~/.fluxbox/apps to deal
with this:
{{{
[app] (name=mapcan\(1\)) (class=Toplevel)
[Dimensions] {778 885}
[Position](UPPERLEFT) {12 3}
[end]
[app] (name=gm_tcl) (class=Gm_tcl)
[Position](UPPERLEFT) {793 0}
[end]
[app] (name=gronsole) (class=Toplevel)
[Position](UPPERLEFT) {690 508}
[end]
[app] (name=form.tcl) (class=Form.tcl)
[Layer] {6}
[end]
[app] (name=sqlitebrowser) (class=Sqlitebrowser) (role=mainForm)
[Dimensions] {905 922}
[end]
}}}
I assume metacity et al. will let you do simiar things. (if not, get
sawfish)
