Description of problem: Liferea used to remember the configuration of the GUI. By this, I mean it does not remember any more how wide the side bar is, nor the preview area. But it used to. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Every since Fedora 7 Steps to Reproduce: Open Liferea Enlarge the side bar Close Liferea and re-open it again The side bar is back to its previous position
I've tried this on several machines, and every time I start up liferea again the sidebar is the correct size. also, checking the gconf value for last-vpane-pos before closing & after opening verifies this. please provide more information, since I'm unable to reproduce this error.
I've tried on 2 machines, a desktop and a laptop. On the desktop, it works fine and the last-vpane-pos value has got a value. On the laptop, it doesn't work and the last-vpane-pos is fixed on 0 whatever I do. I even deleted my .liferea_1.2 without success. The size of the side bar is not saved.
Let's have you try manually changing the gconf value and see if that works. First off, let's close liferea. Then use the following command to set the feedlist sidebar width: gconftool-2 --type integer --set /apps/liferea/last-vpane-pos 150 Then re-open liferea,and see if it is using the correct width. If I remember correctly, having your last-vpane-pos set to 0, uses the gtk+ hints to set the width. When I have some free time, I'll dig through the code and see how they're saving the gconf settings.
Changing the gconf value manually works. But the value remains the one I set manually. If I change the width in liferea, it is not saved and I come back to the value set manually.
That's really weird, I still have the problem on Fedora 8. I wanted again to remove the .liferea_1.2 but Liferea doesn't mind about it and reload my opml file even if its home folder is deleted. Are there other files hidden somewhere ? I think I'm turning crazy...
Well of course it is not my opml file but the one which is by default as an example...
Thomas, are you still experiencing this bug in the 1.4.x branch?
Thanks for telling as I did not even noticed there was a 1.4.x branch. I installed it, removed the stuff in gconf and removed my liferea home folder and it works. Thanks, you saved my life :)
