Enlightenment 0.19.0 - Annoying window placement/size issues

Hi,
I have been having this very annoying issue with enlightenment for a while now; searching for a solution, can't find anything and my knowledge of the whole X window system is limited to its usage.
The first issue is that whenever I close a window, the first minimized one will restore by itself; it won't stay minimized.... So I keep having a window that pops up each time I close one...... I end up shading my windows instead of minimizing them.......
The second issue is bad. I use Quartus software (I hope someone is using this....), each window I open in the IP catalog (or QSYS) will come up wrong. It will have a size of 1xHUGE or simply 1x1. When size is 1xHUGE it is completely on the left side of my screen, whowing its glamorous window decoration and a larger top-right square that wonldn't be able to get smaller than that. I resize but the window is blank. I must restart enlightenment for the window's content to appear. When it is 1x1, well.... the only thing that shows is the top-right window decoration.
I can work but this is very.... very ......very annoying..... Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Tach

Hi,
Sorry but I have to bump this one back.
I did erase all settings (.e and .elementary) but the issue persists. This happends on both of my machines (Intel graphic for desktop and Optimus for laptop; so yes, Intel for both).
FVWM does not exhibit the issue but then again, no automagic placement is enabled. I think this is the problem here...
Also, on my desktop, if I restart enlightenment, I get a background but nothing else; no task bar, no pager, no menus. I have to kill enlightenment/X. I am not sure e19 is the root cause; I would be geared toward one of my libraries/config of system (dbus?)
I don't know how to debug this and logs don't help me much.
Any help on how to diagnose this would be appreciated before I switch to KDE ....
Update:
On my desktop, I forgot I was on the -git from AUR. Getting back to the official package restored my capability to restart Enlightenment. Now I have to figure out the blank windows thing because it happens to more than the originally stated software. Elightenment's windows itself are getting weird sizes and positions.
Thanks,
Tach.

PekWM window placement / moving

I just started using PekWM and really like it, but I'm having trouble with two points.
1) Is there a way to set window placement to be random? By default it's set to "CenteredOnParent Smart MouseNotUnder", and it doesn't seem to center on anything, and it certainly doesn't seem very smart.
2) When I drag a window to another workspace, I go FLYING all the way to the last workspace in the column or row. Is there a way to make dragging windows between workspaces a little less hyperactive?
Thank you!

[SOLVED] XFCE - Incorrect windows placement

Hi,
I'm currently having a issue with XFCE's window placement. In the settings panel, under Window Manager Tweaks > Placement, window placement is set to Center for all windows, but this option has no effect. I tried changing it to place windows under the mouse, but it also has no effect on the windows placement. Windows keep opening on the screen corners.
I checked the forums for similar problems, and found some results, but none of the solutions worked for me. Also, those are quite old topics.
[Solved] XFCE - Having Trouble Centering Windows
[solved] Xfce4, new windows position
Xfce 4.8 xfwm4 window placement settings no longer have any effect.
This is not a big problem, but I'm kind of picky, so if anyone knows a solution to this problem, please share it.
Best Regards,

Shouldn't you actually have it on the maximum value?
I believe the way this works is that the size (or ratio, the option is actually called placement_ratio IIRC and is a ratio of window size vs screen size) you specify here is the minimum to trigger "smart placement." If the window isn't (at least) of that size, then the default (i.e. center or under mouse pointer, as defined below) will be used. So if you want every window to use the default placement, you should set the minimum size for smart placement to be as large as possible. (In fact, I believe with a ratio set to 100 (i.e. slider to the max) it should always use the default placement, regardless of window size, which is want you're after if I'm not wrong.)
If even with the slider to the max you get new windows placed using smart placement, then it sounds like a bug I'd say.
(Also, just as FYI and though you might simply want all windows to be centered, I wasn't happy with xfwm's smart placement myself, you can see this topic for a (IMO) better alternative.)

Cannot view quicktime window normal size and still see controls!

Help!
I cannot view quicktime window normal size and still see control butttons (pause, play etc.)
I search this forum and found another previous similar question, but the answer. (To use control+0, which would make it half-size.), is not what I need.
What I need is to have a nice fuller size view, (not the narrow little half-size), but any way i find of doing that hides the controls below the bottom of my screen!
I cannot resize it from any side, except the bottom r. corner, which is hidden with these desireable fuller options.

Update: this was my mistake - I had neglected to configure all the view containers in the WebDynproCO window, which was generated by adding the GP interface to the component. All is well.

Formating the Mobile Me gallery window place holder

Is there a way to format the Mobile Me gallery window place holders? Specifically, remove the white title bar at the bottom of the window when they appear in the published site?
I would like to ad these galleries but I don't want the title at the bottom to show up. I don't want to use the album style picture placeholders because I want to be able to email the pics.

Is it the tell a friend email link that you're referring to? Can you click on the gallery link in iPhoto and get to it online? The link will contain numbers as the folder for the gallery is identified by a 6 digit number.
If it's the link in the email that gets created by the tell a friend that you're referring to you might post in the Mail forum also.
All I can think to do is go to iPhoto/Gallery preference pane and stop publishing. Then republish and see if you can get the email link to work.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Window placement

I wonder if I am missing something. Pages always opens documents based on templates 1/3 inch from the left edge of the screen. It never remembers the window placement on templates. Is there a method for changing this? I want my default documents to open in a specific position. If not, will this be fixed in the future? Nisus, Mellel, Mariner Write all do this well. I would prefer not to have to take an extra step before working on a new document in pages.

Matthew,
Welcome to Apple Discussions. The phenominon you describe is a bug, and you should use the feedback link at the top of the page to tell Apple that fixing it is important to you. You ask if it'll be fixed in the future: we can't possibly know that since Apple is particularly tight-lipped about updates. But if enough people bring it to their attention, they will likely make fixing the problem you cite a priority.

Windows Update Helps with File Size Issues?

I'm just wondering if anybody has recently noticed an
improvement related to the file size issue variously reported
throughout the forums?
I ask because our IT folks distributed a Windows update on 2
days last week and since the application of those updates I have
not experienced the freakishly large file sizes and the related
performance issues in Captivate. Unfortunately I don't have any of
the details of what patch(es) were installed, as it was part of our
boot script one morning and I didn't even realize it was updating
until I received the Reboot Now or Later alert.
Anyway, I was curious because I have experienced significant
performance improvement since then.

If you are using a remote workflow ... designers are sending off-site editors InCopy Assignment packages (ICAPs) .... then they need to create assignments in order to package them for the remote InCopy user. So there's no need to split up a layout into smaller files or anything. An assignment is a subset of the INDD file; multiple assignments -- each encompassing different pages or sections -- are created from the same INDD file.
When the designer creates the assignment, have them turn off "Include original images in packages"; that should keep the file size down.
Or -- like Bob said -- you can avoid the whole remote workflow/assignment package rigamarole all together by just keeping the file in a project folder in the Dropbox folder on teh designer's local hard drive, and have them share the project folder with the editors. In that workflow, editors open the INDD file on their local computer and check out stories, just as though they were opening them from a networked file server.
I cover how the InCopy Dropbox workflow works in a tutorial video (within the Remote Workflows chapter) on Lynda.com here:

Change "Test Window" placement in Flash CC?

Hi.
I have a problem with the placement of the Test/preview/export windows placement in Flash CC on my dual-screen setup.
When pressing CMD+Enter, the test window pops up at the edge between my laptop screen and my external display. Every time i have to drag the window into my external display in order to preview it properly. In Flash CS6, i would move the test window once and the next time i exported out the test window would wind up in the same position as it did earlier.
Please fix this ASAP, its very annoying

Hi Dharmendra.
Thank you for taking your time to reply this thread.
I havent even considdered the possibility of this being affected by the flash project itself, i thought it was some kind of error in the UI. But when you asked about my settings and classes, i started looking around for clues.
And i - sort of - found a solution. At least a half one, but that is more than okay for now.
The bug seems to revolve around the use of traces. We use quite a number of trace calls in our projects, and it seems that when i ignore these by enabling the "omit trace statements" option in the Publish settings, the issue goes away and the flash test windows position is being correctly saved again. Disabling "omit trace statements" will force the test window back to its original default position.
I hope this info is enough for you to go on working on this bug, but if it isnt, i will be happy to assist you with a test-project for you to troubleshoot on.
Kind regards

Windows Profile size and AIR?

Hello,
I have been trying to install TweetDeck and it uses Adobe AIR, when I do though my Windows Profile size becomes to big and I get an error. We currently limit our user profile sizes.
Is there a way I can change where files from AIR are stored so that they are not stored in the profile area, and just to the C:\ instead?
Using Windows XP.
thanks.

This sounds like an option that TweetDeck could implement on their side. I haven't tried this myself, but here's a Windows tweek for changing the location of appdata via the registry.
Change the default location of the "Application Data" folder
Hope this helps,
Chris

Compiz and weird window placement

I just installed Arch and KDE. It all works fine except for compiz, which works, but any window opened goes to the top left hand corner and the title bar is hidden so I can't even move it.

Start the CompizConfigSettingsManager (ccsm) and check if the window decorator plugin is enabled if you have no window boarders.
There is another plugin for windows placement (don't know how its called because my settings manager is in german).
Maybe you have to active a lot of other plugins before compiz works how you like it.

Projector window placement

Can I make the projector window place on the top of the desktop screen and make all the other desktop items and windows go underneeth the projector window, like a toolbar is created on the desktop (on the top, left or right side of the screen) ?

It takes a while for images to go through the virus checker queue when you attach them, and yours hasn't passed, yet. Images posted via the camera icon appear right away.
If you're on Windows, you can use Buddy API's baSetWindowState to make the window "Stay On Top"
http://www.mods.com.au
http://www.mods.com.au/budapi_docs/baSetWindowState.htm
DirectOS has a similar function (also Windows only), dosSetWindowState()
http://www.directxtras.com/
http://www.directxtras.com/DOSDocs/dosSetWindowState.asp?UUID=2398917
There may be other Xtras that do this, too, though I haven't looked for a Mac version.

There are possible work-arounds, combining Lingo and one of the Xtras if you need this for a Mac.

Why do windows change size when clicked?

I have created a PDF file with links and some windows change size when I click the link.

What is the version of PDF viewer application, if you this is the issue with few links, please try to manually edit them. Here the link to refer : http://help.adobe.com/en_US/acrobat/pro/using/WS58a04a822e3e50102bd615109794195ff-7cb3.w.h tml

Please help me fix this! Thanks

Hi,
What operating system and version of photoshop are you using?
Did you move/copy any plugins from an earlier version of photoshop into your present version?
Did you point the Photoshop (Edit)>Preferences>Plug-ins>Additional Plugins Folder to an earlier version of photoshop?

Browser window = the size of the slides?

Hi there,
I'm using an .html loader and standard .js to have the .swf show up in a browser window. When it does load, it fills 1/3 of the open browser window and gets stuck to the upper left corner. I'm very new to flash and I'm not sure which parameters I need to manipulate to have the .swf open in a window that's exactly the size of the slide.
Thanks so much!

Hello again
In order to open a window sized to your project size, you will need to have some JavaScript knowledge. There are no parameters for the Flash Object you will be manipulating. Instead, whatever the link is that you use will need to factor in some JavaScript that causes the window to size appropriately.
Cheers... Rick

[Solved] Openbox Window Placement not in Center

In obconf, under Windows, I have:
√ Focus new windows when they appear
√ Center new windows when they are placed
Prefer to place new windows on: The monitor with the mouse
Primary monitor: Monitor With Mouse Pointer
But in the corresponding rc.xml, I have
<placement>
<policy>Smart</policy>

<center>yes</center>

<monitor>Mouse</monitor>

<primaryMonitor>Mouse</primaryMonitor>

</placement>
And the behaviour is this:
Windows try to get as close to the top left corner as possible without overlapping any other windows. This does sound like what "Smart" policy would refer to, but it is not listening to the <center>yes</center> tag.

I just finished patching Openbox to restore the former random window placement behavior. You can find it here: openbox-git-random-placement
It works but I didn't fully test all scenarios (multi-monitors, different window states, and so on...) so if you find any bugs in my patch or random window placement code please let me know!
Im having trouble discerning what exactly you mean. I could build your version to find out, but the current openbox-git seems to work exactly this way?
I have smart placement and center set. When I open a new window on a blank workspace, its placed centered. If I open another, it will be placed in empty space. It will keep placing in empty space until the desktop is completely hidden, and then it will start randomly placing the window.
I have considered talking to the Openbox devs about possibly implementing the placement algorithm of Fluxbox- Flux will evenly distribute the windows even after the entire screen is filled/covered.
**EDIT** Do you mean your version starts to random place the moment it cant fit the window in empty space without even partially obscuring an existing window?
