[Linux] Export window's position & size and not saved

by pangwolin (Posted Sat Oct 08, 2016 9:50 pm)
I found a possible workaround thanks for the awesome i3 window manager (i3wm). In the i3 config file:

for_window [title="Export"] move absolute position 0 px 0 px, resize set 700 700

This will effectively position it at position 0,0 and not 80,20 as it seems to be the default value in XnView.

For reference, here is what xprop gave me for the Export window:

Code: Select all

WM_STATE(WM_STATE):
                window state: Normal
                icon window: 0x0
_NET_WM_USER_TIME(CARDINAL) = 168175795
_NET_WM_STATE(ATOM) = _NET_WM_STATE_MAXIMIZED_HORZ, _NET_WM_STATE_MAXIMIZED_VERT, _NET_WM_STATE_MODAL
WM_TRANSIENT_FOR(WINDOW): window id # 0x1200004

XdndAware(ATOM) = BITMAP
WM_NAME(STRING) = "Export"
_NET_WM_NAME(UTF8_STRING) = "Export"
_MOTIF_WM_HINTS(_MOTIF_WM_HINTS) = 0x7, 0x26, 0x1e, 0x3, 0x0
_NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE(ATOM) = _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_DIALOG, _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_NORMAL
_XEMBED_INFO(_XEMBED_INFO) = 0x0, 0x1
WM_CLIENT_LEADER(WINDOW): window id # 0x1200005
WM_HINTS(WM_HINTS):
                Client accepts input or input focus: True
                Initial state is Normal State.
_NET_WM_PID(CARDINAL) = 29451
WM_CLASS(STRING) = "XnView", "XnViewMP"
WM_PROTOCOLS(ATOM): protocols  WM_DELETE_WINDOW, WM_TAKE_FOCUS, _NET_WM_PING, _NET_WM_CONTEXT_HELP
WM_NORMAL_HINTS(WM_SIZE_HINTS):
                user specified location: 80, 20
                user specified size: 1280 by 971
                program specified minimum size: 614 by 342
                window gravity: Static

See the "user specified location" and "size". Yeah.
