I set the default window placement to maximized, as shown here: http://funkyimg.com/i/2gu7y.png This work for the apps, while Kdialog seems not effected: http://funkyimg.com/i/2gu7u.png This is really important for me, i hate it so much when the file dialog opens and i have so less space on my notebook, its horrible. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set the default window placement to maximized 2. Open Kdialog Actual Results: Kdialog opens in a small window Expected Results: Kdialog opens maximized
The placement strategy is ignored for dialog windows which is the reason why this does not work for it. The strategy used for dialog windows is "place on main window". This is currently the intended behavior and would require a change of behavior. Given that I change to wishlist. I doubt that we will change that as it would cause regressions with other placement strategies. As a workaround you could use a KWin script which maximizes the window.
Additionally, the KDE file dialog remembers its previously used size.

(In reply to Christoph Feck from comment #2) > Additionally, the KDE file dialog remembers its previously used size. You are correct, its seems to be a distro specific issue, since it works here in Mint. Thanks a lot to both
