[Kdenlive-devel] Start maximized by default

[John T. Mertz]

Hi dan,

Maybe you can help me. I tried fixing this by simply changing:
   window->show();
In main.cpp to:
   window->showMaximized();

But then every time it opens it is maximized by default.

I did some more research and found that "if(app.isSessionRestored())"
never passes as true, so win->restore() is never called.

Shouldn't this return true if kdenlive was previously opened and
restore the previous window state? I'm not an expert at this, just
learning as I go along so I'm not sure. I assume  When is this if()
supposed to pass as true?

Am I incorrect to assume that this is for restoring the window state
after it's been opened before? This is the impression I got from the
KMainWindow documentation. If not, then how do I manage that so it
will open maximized the first time and then restore the prior state
thereafter?

Thanks,
-JTM
