Add session management for plug-in windows
Submitted by gg
Link to original bug (#358141)
Description
user screens and desktop layout vary widely. Default size and position of plug-in windows will often need changing. (eg preview is too small to be of real use or dlg obscures something else we need on the screen - maybe outside Gimp.)
It is infuriating and distruptive to work flow if the user needs to repeatedly resize and reposition every time he calls up a tool or filter.
Plug-ins need to retain these settings from one call to the next. Preferably across sessions as well.
Other information: [Gimp-developer] UI improvements :
specific: Filters | Motion Blur ... I resize to get a more visible
preview size and move it out of the way of other things on the screen.
Next time I use it I dont want to start again.While this is probably down to the plugin writer, at least the "common"
filters should be vetted/modded to retain size/pos before being
integrated. And it should be recommended for all plug-ins.
Raphaël suggests this could go in pluginrc.
