Feature Request: Remember window size after restart

Post by rovf »

I'm running XnView MP 1.7.1 on MacOS 12.7.3

When I start XnView, the window is sized to occupy as much of the screen as possible (not "maximized"). I have to resize it to my liking every time.

It would be great if upon closing, XnView would remember the size it had last time, and reopen in that size.

XnView remember its size. If you size it to less size, same problem?

Yes. And I darkly believe that in the past, it did remember the size. Now it doesn't.

Where does it store the remembered size? In a P-List? In some INI-File?

There is no "Settings" menu. I have in the XnView menu, right under "About XnView", a menu entry "Preferences" (shortcut: AppleKey + ","), and under "Integration", it says "use .ini in folder User (System)". So it seems to use an INI-File, but what folder is it? There is of course no folder named "/User (System)". Where can I get the *real* path to the ini file?

Thanks a lot. The path is $HOME/.config/xnview.ini .

The strange thing is, that now it suddenly remembers its size. When I resize the Window, the timestamp of the xnview.ini file changes. I can't nor reproduce the previous behaviour of always getting the same size. I'm really puzzled....
