I am sorry if this question was asked before, but I was wondering why is it, that most app- lication's main window do not restore it's last save-data the next time it is opened? What I am talking about is window position and size data, but not limited to these only. How many times does an application have to be repositioned & resized every time it is opened? We do have a startup session save for apps that supports session-saves, and restores saved apps to its last position, size, & workspace locations. (BTW, as of F13, session-saves do not work well.) In any case, session-saves are for applications that will be restored when a new session is opened. But this is a different application for a specific purpose. If I am not being clear, let me try to explain. Let's take an application such as Totem. Now if one opens Totem, one notes that this app positions itself at the top-left corner with a rather large window size. Annoyed, totem is repositioned, resized for viewing pleasure. Now, I am done with totem, I closed it. Later in time, I decided to open Totem again, and the behaviour is exactly the same as before, top-left and a large window size. Drat! If there was window-app save-data, the next time Totem opened, apps window would obtain the save- data and reposition and resize the app is exactly as it was the last time it was opened. Further, is there a Gnome application design framework, that includes built-in support for application save-data which include things as position, size, workspace location session-save hooks, and any window specific save-data so that designers will automatically have this code when developing new windows applications? (Yeah, dream on?) It would also be nice if this was standardized, so that a Desktop configuration tool would recognize these apps and allow for Global & User property changes saved either in the the global or user's (~/.config "database") or whatever is appropriate. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
