dolphinrc

SUMMARY
When closing apps like dolphin or Konsole and opening them again they restore in a pretty small form factor not remembering their original sizes. This happens on X11 for me with Tumbleweed (most current version).

Attached you find my dolphinrc file (I already tried moving it to start clean, but that did not help).

This is probably strongly related to, maybe even a duplicate of https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=427875 (and possibly https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=426813).

konsolerc

konsolerc for comparison, maybe it gives helpful hints, also a "clean" file after moving the old one and starting and closing Konsole.

discoverrc

Discover works, though so adding a clean rc file for that as well (after opening Discover, maximizing the window and closing again).

Interestingly that file appears much more simple than the ones from applications where restoring does not work.

dolphinrc after maximizing

Sorry, the old dolphinrc attachement apparently was not taken after maximizing the window, so here another one after having maximized the window.

Comment 4 Claudius Ellsel 2021-01-06 15:02:01 UTC

The maximized part might be solved by https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/kconfig/-/merge_requests/37, I'll try to test when frameworks 5.78 land. The other issue with Konsole not remembering when changing the window size probably has a different cause, though.

Comment 5 Nate Graham 2021-01-06 15:24:57 UTC

Please file different bugs for different apps. Dolphin uses the standard frameworks-provided stuff while Konsole does some processing. So the fact that this is happening for both of them is likely a coincidence. Let's get new bug reports, one for each app. Thanks!

Comment 6 Nate Graham 2021-01-06 15:25:33 UTC

Also Discover uses its own system totally disconnected from the standard frameworks size and position restoration (which is not yet available to QML-based apps).

Comment 7 Claudius Ellsel 2021-01-06 17:40:43 UTC

Didn't know that and thought maybe the same bug got introduced by the "remember position and size" feature. Will file separate reports, then.
