Re: [PATCH] xdg-shell: add set_max_size request

I do not like clients having to update this value continuously as conditions change. I would prefer any kind of design where the calculation of the maximum size is deferred until it is actually used, ie at the point that the user does whatever action attemts to make the window larger. Perhaps an

Re: [PATCH] xdg-shell: add set_max_size request

I think sending stepping size or aspect is not needed, but steps will work only if the client can add a constant. Ie the width can be n*A+B where A and B are specified by the client. The X11 version did not allow a client to add a border that was not a multiple of the steps thick, which made

Re: [PATCH] xdg-shell: add set_max_size request

"hint" just means "don't bother setting this flag, since it won't do anything". If we want min/max size rules, I want them to be enforced. Compositors SHOULD NOT attempt to configure windows above or below the requested size. On Mon, Apr 4, 2016 at 11:58 PM, Olivier Fourdan

I think min/max hints are acceptable in xdg-shell. On Mon, Apr 4, 2016, 12:33 PM Mike Blumenkrantz < michael.blumenkra...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Mon, Apr 4, 2016 at 3:30 PM Olivier Fourdan > wrote: > >> >> Hi Mike, >> >> - Original Message - >> > [...] >> > >> >

Re: [PATCH] xdg-shell: add set_max_size request

Hm, you raise some interesting points. However, I think your argument is somewhat misled by your claim that "this case is unique". If there is an application which does not want to be larger than a certain size, why could there not also be an application which does not want to be smaller than a

[PATCH] xdg-shell: add set_max_size request

Some application may wish to restrict their window in size, but xdg-shell has no mecanism for the client to advertise such a maximimum size. As a result, the compositor may try to maximize or fullscreen a window while the client would not allow for the requested size. Add a new request
