azguy Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Like to request that Afinity Designer remember the last window size on opening the program. I don't like having to resize the application window each time I open the program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Andy Somerfield Posted June 23, 2014 Staff Share Posted June 23, 2014 This seems to be working for me - weird.. Can you list the steps you perform to reproduce the problem? Thanks, Andy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Andrew Tang Posted June 23, 2014 Staff Share Posted June 23, 2014 Just as a check, make sure you don't have 'Close windows when quitting an application' in your system preferences 'General' settings checked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azguy Posted June 28, 2014 Author Share Posted June 28, 2014 Just dowloaded beta 5 and am still having the same issue. Designer always opens to the same screen size no matter how my screen is positioned when I exit the program. I set screen to full window (Maximized) and it always opens to 90% of full window or maximized. Please see attached file. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted July 3, 2014 Staff Share Posted July 3, 2014 I've tried this on my system and it works fine in beta 5, but only if you don't have 'Close windows when quitting an application' in your system preferences 'General' settings checked as Andrew Tang pointed out. Otherwise it will behave like you described filling only part of the screen.

azguy Posted July 10, 2014 Author Share Posted July 10, 2014 The problem is this: all of my clients have "Close windows when quitting an application" checked. That "restoring documents and windows" feature went over like a lead balloon when Apple introduced it. Mac users went ballistic over having old documents automatically reopening. That is why Apple was forced to add "Close windows when quitting an application" to the system prefs. Having said that, it sure would be nice if Designer had the ability to startup in maximized window position. (See Libre Office or FireFox for example). Both of these programs open maximized without opening an old document. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Andrew Tang Posted July 11, 2014 Staff Share Posted July 11, 2014 Hi azguy, There are plans to make Affinity Designer remember the last saved window size even when the 'Close windows when quitting an application' is checked. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Andrew Tang Posted July 11, 2014 Staff Share Posted July 11, 2014 This has now been implemented and you should get it in the next beta. This means that you need to run it once, maximised the application, and quit - it will then save it's window. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
