[Partially solved] VLC 0.9 doesn't remember size of Open Dlg

Postby theone256 » 08 Aug 2008 21:08

I have been testing the nightlies for a while, and 0.9 works quite well for me, except for a little annoying problem: the position and size of the open dialog are not remembered when VLC is restarted.

Also, with the latest nightly build, when you resize the open dialog vertically to its minimum size and then click on "Use a subtitles file", the checkbox becomes hidden by the file extension filter combo box (this is a very minor issue).

Re: VLC 0.9.0 doesn't remember position nor size of Open Dialog

Well, this is NORMAL, Open Dialog center on the underlying main Interface.

The resizing bug will be fixed 2morrow.

Ah! I didn't notice that. Well, the positioning behavior is normal then. But what about remembering the size of the dialog?

I see that you've fixed the overlap of the checkbox (in git). Thank you for that. But the size of the dialog still doesn't seem to be remembered.

Actually, I infer that from the git log, but I couldn't test the open dialog with the latest nightly build. VLC crashes when I try to open it (under Windows XP):

I know it might not be very useful without method names. Why aren't the nightlies compiled in debug mode (with debug symbols), by the way? Wouldn't that help locating these kind of bugs more easily?
