gitk/git-gui misfeature: saving the geometry can the window out of reach

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello list,

gitk (and I think git-gui too) save their "geometry" (which includes X/Y position) in ~/.gitk. So far so good. The problem is that I often use 2 screens at work (one is the screen of my laptop, the other one is above) and I happen to put my gitk/git-gui windows on the 2nd screen. When I go back home, I don't have a second screen and gitk/git-gui open their windows out of reach. This could well be an ugly wart in Apple's port of Tcl/Tk (I have a MacBook with OSX 10.4.10) or a more general problem (didn't try with other OSes).

git-gui version 0.8.4
git version 1.5.3.5.654.gdd5ec (tonight's master's HEAD)
Tcl/Tk version 8.4.7 (Apple's)
(gitk doesn't support --version!)

For those struggling with the same problem, here is a quick workaround:
  gnused -i /geometry/d ~/.gitk

Cheers,
