Patch 'fix-bug-830663.patch' tested on OS X 10.7.5 with Inkscape 0.48+devel r12274: - GTK+/X11 2.24.13, XQuartz 2.7.4 (xorg-server 1.13.0) - GTK+/Quartz 2.24.17, (native Quartz backend)
Patch works as expected, though the results vary depending on GTK+ backend / Window manager / GTK+ version (I'm not sure which component is to blame): launching Inkscape with new (default) prefs and default template, any new empty document window is maximized immediately. Details: - With the X11-based build, the document window can be de-maximized using the buttons in the windows decoration, and it resizes to the minimal window size it originally has (i.e. without the patch). - With the Quartz-based build, the maximized document window cannot be de-maximized at all: the document window is opened with window width&height set to max values, but without setting the 'inkscape :window-maximized' value to 1 in <namedview>. This is annoying since users who dislike 'maximized' view have to manually resize each new document window by grabbing & dragging one of the edges (OS X >= 10.7) or the bottom-right corner (Mac OS X <= 10.6.8) - requiring much more efforts than the current state without patch. Likely the patch exposes an underlying issue in the interaction between Inkscape and certain window managers. <opinion> 'Maximize' and 'De-maximize' of a maximized Inkscape document window on OS X - be it under X11 or with the native backend - has never worked reliably for me, which might have contributed to me being opposed to defaulting to open in a maximized state as default setting. Personally, I'm still opposed to such a default, but won't argue for my POV anymore, since based on the reaction to my earlier comments (outside the bug tracker), a majority of users seems to prefer this. </opinion> -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to inkscape in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/830663 Title: default window size is too small Status in Inkscape: A Vector Drawing Tool: Confirmed Status in “inkscape” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: The default window size for Inkscape is too small. Attached is a screenshot showing how it starts for me every time. It would be nice if Inkscape started maximised or at least a whole lot bigger than it is now, so it can be useful immediately.
