Hello.

I'm in a GNOME environment and I don't like this behaviour. How can I set
a decent aMule window size?

regards

[Stu Redman]

You mean, it doesn't remember its last window size?
Do you maybe start it with a batch that sets the window size to some fixed value?

It doesn't remember its last window size, right!
There's no other program that is launched with aMule, if you intend this with 'batch', and also
it has this behaviour either under compiz that under metacity.

Which aMule version are you using? and have you tried another WM? (KDE, fluxbox, etc.)?

Regards.

Can you try the SVN version?

Can you try the SVN version?

I would like, but Festor left us alone and I'm not able to compile.

[Stu Redman]

It requires no magic.

It requires three commands to be executed from the directory that is created when you extract the tarball:

• ./configure
• make
• make install

You may of course add some parameters like --enable-debug to the configure script (step 1).
Open the "configure" file in any text-editor and search for "Optional Features:" to find a list of the parameters you can add.

"./configure --help" should do the trick

And if all else fails, read the instructions.

Ok, I've compile latest SVN Revision 10177, and it
do NOT start maximized anymore.

(What I will need to do when another revision will be released? Do I have to
make all compile, make and makeinstall procedure by new again?)

You could copy the new revision into the same folder. This will spare yourself the compilation of things that were not changed.
But other than that: yes, you have to compile it again.
