Size settings of subwindows not saved

[N8XMS]

A very minor issue...

The size (width) of the map, information, and station image windows below the log screen are very easy to change but the next time that RumLogNG is opened up they are back to their default sizes with small map and information sections of equal size and a very wide station image section. Would it be possible to have the software remember the sizes that were set for each section?

Thanks and 73,

I have no idea, why it is not working for you as it should.
Try this:

• Open the drawer
• Resize it for your convenience
• Close the drawer
• Restart RUMlog

When this dosen't help go to the Terminal and enter this:

Code: Select all

defaults delete de.dl2rum.RUMlogNG "NSSplitView Subview Frames splitterQRZ_2"

Anyone else with this problem?

Not the same issue, the right windows are closed when runlogNg start and if I want open up I have to click on the arrow. The arrow point to the right so the windows must be open.
I type the command on terminal suggest by you but runlonNg doesn't open anymore.
After a recover from time machine all works fine but the issue about the right windows (map and qrz info) are still present.

Thanks for the quick reply but unfortunately your suggestions did not work. I will try to uploaded two screen shots to show you exactly what the situation is. Pic1 shows the windows set the way that I would like them and pic2 shows what they go back to after closing RumLogNG and re-opening it.

It looks like I can only upload 1 picture at a time so attached to this posting will be pic1 and I send the 2nd one with another posting.

Here is pic2

I have no idea.

You can read the values with:

Code: Select all

defaults read de.dl2rum.RUMlogNG "NSSplitView Subview Frames splitterQRZ_2"

After every change you should notice a change of the given numbers representing width and height of each element.

After changing, quitting and restarting RUMlog you should see always the same numbers.

Which OS-X version do you use?

I'm using Yosemite 10.10.5. I'll snoop around with that read statement that you gave and see if I can discover anything.

Thanks.

Hi again Tom,

Thank you for giving me that "read" command for Terminal. Experiments are showing some interesting results. RumLog is saving the size settings when it is shutdown but for some reason when the program is reopened they change and each time it is reopened they continue to change. Here is a log of my experiments:

====
I opened RumLogNG. The map section is small and Terminal shows these settings:

"-3.000000, 0.000000, 280.000000, 407.000000, NO",
"280.000000, 0.000000, 591.000000, 407.000000, NO",
"874.000000, 0.000000, 849.000000, 407.000000, NO"

Next I changed the sizes to what I want and with RumLog still open I get these settings:

"-3.000000, 0.000000, 703.000000, 407.000000, NO",
"703.000000, 0.000000, 379.000000, 407.000000, NO",
"1085.000000, 0.000000, 638.000000, 407.000000, NO"

Next I closed RumLog and checked the values:

"-3.000000, 0.000000, 703.000000, 407.000000, NO",
"703.000000, 0.000000, 379.000000, 407.000000, NO",
"1085.000000, 0.000000, 638.000000, 407.000000, NO"

Now I reopen RumLog and the sizes have changed. While RumLog is still open Terminal shows these values:

"-3.000000, 0.000000, 367.000000, 407.000000, NO",
"367.000000, 0.000000, 504.000000, 407.000000, NO",
"874.000000, 0.000000, 849.000000, 407.000000, NO"

A shutdown of RumLog without making any changes to it and a check of the values:

"-3.000000, 0.000000, 367.000000, 407.000000, NO",
"367.000000, 0.000000, 504.000000, 407.000000, NO",
"874.000000, 0.000000, 849.000000, 407.000000, NO"

One more opening of RumLog gives these values:

"-3.000000, 0.000000, 292.000000, 407.000000, NO",
"292.000000, 0.000000, 532.000000, 407.000000, NO",
"827.000000, 0.000000, 896.000000, 407.000000, NO"

I really appreciate your help on this but it's not a major issue for me so please don't take to much of your valuable time on it. Even with this strange situation your program is outstanding!

Thank you,

Well,

A fix to this situation but more strange behavior...

Last night I upgraded from Yosemite to El Capitan (10.11.1) and now the size of the three panels is staying where I set it. But there is another oddity. When I first open RumLogNG the panels do not show. When I click the little arrow to open them they flash open for a moment and then close. When I click the arrow a second time they stay open.

I have the same behavior here. The drawer below the window dosen't open by itself. The other one works as expected. There are few other, more problematic bugs to fix first.
