I'd been able to reproduce what Bernd was seeing (it worked ok in my primary monitor but not with the kdenlive window in my secondary), but with this patch it seems to work as expected in both. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

The difference between AppImage and other builds is that the AppImages use a separate config instead of stomping on the 'system' one.

Forcing X11 with "QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb kdenlive" causes the dialog to be positioned in center but offset like the dialog is the correct size, but actually not being the correct size, causing the dialog to be opened off-center and small.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=486310 --- Comment #12 from Ron --- It's sounding a lot like your window manager is not playing nice with Qt - there used to be some gtk shims that could help with that, but I can't say offhand if they're still needed or still help. I do recall it being a bit of a black art to find the right environment variables to set to get Qt to play nice on my high dpi screens outside of a KDE desktop. Oh, and it's possible wayland vs X makes some difference here? But essentially the problem is that all Qt can do is say "Please sir, I would like a window of this size, in this position", and it's entirely up to your window manager as to whether it respects that wholly, partly, or just says screw you, 640x480 should be enough pixels for anyone. If you're running the current appimage it should be using the code I indicated, so if it's not half your screen size, I'd be looking at how your WM is configured. I know with the plasma VM I could actually set explicit sizes and positions of my own for various applications and their dialogs. The MATE + sawfish system mostly just always Does Something Reasonable, so I've never messed with that more. Hopefully you can find something to share to help the other people this is afflicting. It clearly sucks, but if the code is already asking for half the screen and not getting it, us poking the code to make it ask for more isn't likely to help a lot. We need to find why the WM isn't giving it that. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

One of my monitors is at 1920x1080, the other at 2560x1080. Pop!_OS internally it may be "seen" as one big screen of 4480x1080. The interesting thing is that if I open Kdenlive on the 21:9 monitor the dialog window opens with useful dimensions; if opened at the 16:9 monitor it is not usable and must be manually resized. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

My answer is no to all three questions. My two screens are 1920x1080 and the dialog opens at 582x288. I can also say that this problem had disappeared (unfortunately I don't know in which version) and that the defect had returned in the next version.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=486310 Ron changed: What|Removed |Added CC||[email protected] ||z.net --- Comment #9 from Ron --- Bernd asked if I could take a peek at this a couple of weeks ago, and having just been messing with the file dialog for exporting subtitles, I figured I might finally know my way around at least enough to get some sense of what's going on here ... The "Add Clip of Folder" option opens a KFileWidget, which it seems we don't really have any direct control over sizing, and which doesn't appear to retain any memory of prior user resizing. It does have two identically implemented methods to report the size it would like to be, sizeHint() (https://api.kde.org/frameworks/kio/html/kfilewidget_8cpp_source.html#l00567) and dialogSizeHint (https://api.kde.org/frameworks/kio/html/kfilewidget_8cpp_source.html#l02962) ... And looking at how it behaves for me in a VM with current bleeding edge plasma and on a desktop running Sawfish in MATE, it does seem to pop up sized to half the screen size in both cases as that code would suggest. So the next interesting question now for the people this is terribly small for, is: - is your screen so small that half the screensize is too small for this dialog? - or is your window manager doing something awful and ignoring that size hint? But short of subclassing KFileWidget and reimplementing its sizeHint() method, there doesn't really appear to be a lot we can do in kdenlive to fix this, or anything we are Doing Wrong ... I'll leave this open until we answer the question(s) above though in case there is something we can document to avoid a system-related problem. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

Kdenlive seems to work fine (as far as I can tell), but the saving of FX-stacks opens up a window which now (in Plasma 6) is a) way to small » i have to resize it everytime (for years the size was perfect, I didn't even thing about it) b) the text-focus does not change automatically "into" the then opened "save as new FX-stack" window (I have to click the field where the name of the new fx-stack goes) Thank you, best regards (from Germany) Chris -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
