Please remove auto maximize File Editor!!!

Hi Ilia,

Can you please remove the automatic maximize of the editor window in File Manager! Or tell me how to disable it - It is REALLY annoying! I have tried to find a setting for disable this but can't find anything! This changed after the last update today! I do most of my code editing directly in File Manager and this is already getting on my nerves! ;)

Thanks in advance!

Best Regards, Leffe

Hi,

I got exactly opposite request just few weeks ago, and this is why made it maximized on first run. xD

What is the big deal? Isn't it more comfortable to have it maximized? It's somewhat happening on Desktop editors - they maximize editor window by default.

Hi Ilia,

NO... This is really not good, and first of all, this should be a user option to select the preferred behavior, I have to normalize windows all the time! The window covers the whole screen, not just the right frame!

There must be some config file for this behavior, please tell me where it is... and if this can't be changed, tell me how to revert to previous File Editor version.

And by the way, all my desktop editors is opens in my last selected size! If not set to maximize.

Regards, Leffe

I'll see what I can do tomorrow, as it's 4am for me. I got to go to bed. Sorry.

Ok, Thanks!

It's fine by me changing this manually in a file!

It's 2 am here and I have a couple hours work left to do!

Have a good night!

We try to avoid adding too many options for no particular reason. This is one of the cases in my opinion.

I have added a fix to it. The editor window size will be quite the same size as it used to be in the past. Give it a try with Authentic Theme 19.46-beta1 (can be installed from theme configuration page).

As a bonus, I have just added ability to maximize/normalize editor's window by clicking Alt+Up / Alt+Down.

It should be very useful.

Hi Ilia,

Thanks! It is much better now!

But I don't understand why adding a option to how the window size when open editor should be "for no particular reason". Having user to be able to decide by them self seems for me, more than reason enough. And the options should/could be, maximized, procentage of maximized(this should also set the normalized), or as last opened.

The Alt+Up and Alt+Down is nice!

Thanks! Leffe

Okay, added an option to File Manager configuration to choose whether the editor panel should be maximized upon initial start.

It will got to theme version 19.46 release.
