Last Window size

[raimo]

I would like to open VLC always with the last size (even if video has a different size as window size).

It would be nice also to have a shortcut to adapt window size to video size again.

I have the same wish to VLC. It' hard to work with a netbook to scale it down again and again.
Also I would like to see the slimmer control line (Play, ff, fb, pause...) below the video-screen.

With 1.0.0 you should be able do to custom controlbar for VLC.

What do you mean with custom controlbar?

Can we save the last window size/position in 1.0.0.?

[VLC_help]

You can select the items what you want to see in controlbar.

ATM nobody has implemented anything like that.

[starbright]

To save the last windows size and position is imho a basic feature. I would be quite happy to see this.
First thing I have do do on my netbook is to nestle around with that ...annoying.

[usera]

was searching a way to set this in vlc and found this thread. I hope this gets implemented. For netbooks with small screens or large view screens from 2+ monitors... it's a very necessary setting.

Lift up!

VLC 1.0 can give you a way to not resize the player to the video. But not after restart, where it will default to the default size.

It would be nice to have the same possiblity as the SMPlayer.
Keep default window size (with shortcut)
changable window size (with shortcut) - as in 0.9.8.
without necessity to restart the player

btw: thank you for your message

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

You can choose that, yes.

[raimo]

You can choose that, yes.

after restart the default window size is back?

btw... do you know when the next release will be?

After restart, the size is the one you let in preferences, or the minimal one, or the one with the cone.

Dear VLC_help,

You wrote this message Dec 17.
Today April 3 I've seen the 0.9.9 download.

When will the 1.0.0 release come out?

can you please tell me where I can find this setting?

"When it's done"

You can test nightly builds if you want to check out the new features.
http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/win32/?C=M;O=D (trunks are 1.0.0)

Hi,

This feature I think is incomplete slighly as it does not remember really small resized window sizes such as example. 95x95. in my 1.0 nightly

Also after viewing any video at a really small window size like the given 95x95 the VLC window seems to revert back to what appears to be its smallest size setting (I think 200x200) - try it. I would like the window not to do this as like SM Player.

Hopefully will be switching to VLC 1.0 soon

This would be nice to fix, ok you may ask "why anyone would want to watch video repatedly in such really small screen size" its just out of preference when previewing lots of video sometimes that I preview when downloading from torrent

So support for remembering ultra small window sizes

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

Fill a bug.

Where can I find the 1.0.0. trunk?
All the files I see here are 0.9.10 versions.

If you use the first mode (--qt-display-mode=0), you won't have any problems with a minimum size.

if you use one of the other two modes (--qt-display-mode=1 or 2), the problem comes from the cone which requires a 128x128 minimum size (hardcoded). This size takes over a too small previously stored size. (even if --no-qt-video-autoresize is set).
Well, is it a bug ? If so, do fill a bug !

Look for files beginning with "vlc-1.0.0-pre1-"

Like this build for example
http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/win ... 0414-1623/

Also if you download as .zip then all you would have to do is extract and run (no local install)

I tried the 1.0.0. trunk today.
Very nice.

However I noted that the zoom doesn't work when "resize interface to video size" is not enabled

To keep the last window size is very useful if you have a lot of video files p.e. youtube who wants every video in parts of max 10 minutes. If you download all the parts and you start with the first video and make the window a bit bigger and
VLC don't keep last window size you have to resize the window with every new video.
So great that 1.0.0. has this feature!

However a zoom function is still usefull.

Another thing: would it be possible to have a shortcut key to enable and disable "resize interface to video size" on the fly?

When option "no resize to video size" is used, what should "zoom" mean ?
Zoom x times with regard to the original video size or Zoom x times with regard to the current video size ?

And should this new size resulting from zoom be stored for later reuse or should we still keep the current video size for later reuse ?

zoom is a real issue (a no-op as it is today is not the best thing), but how it should behave is an open debate ... for vlc1.1 ?

should not be unfeasible ...

It is like resizing. You resize the windows.
With zoom you can resize much quicker.
Zoom to original, zoom to half size, Zoom to double size.

This new size should be stored because it is the last window size.

The equalizer doesn't work in the 1.0 pre2?
