bauh Windows resizing issues.

Posted to the Manjaro forums. https://forum.manjaro.org/t/bauh-formerly-known-as-fpakman-a-gui-for-flatpak-and-snap-management/96180/105?u=sinister

It's very resize happy. When you select or deselect updates or Apps or whatever. It's constantly resizing itself which bothers me. I resized it to a size I wanted but selecting any of those makes it shrink to a tiny little window (Monitor is 2560x1440).

Perhaps it should respect the users resize?

Also, this might be harder to guess but I think the default size is quite small. Especially for the info it's presenting. Perhaps some a bit wider?

Thank you for your work and patience. :)

@SinisterBrain, it's a good suggestion. I will see if I can add this behavior for the next releases soon.

I have issues too, the right arrow is not clickable so I can't reach the button

@talentlessguy, what's your distro, python version and pyqt5 version ?

Jan 28 '20 15:01 vinifmor

@vinifmor

Python 3.8.1
python-pyqt5 5.14.1-1
bauh 0.8.1

@talentlessguy , same here... This is arrow is just a Qt indicator saying "there is something hidden". But it was supposed to always displays all buttons. I will try to reproduce and fix here. While is not fixed, try to resize the whole panel to the right or maximize it. Thank you for your report.

@talentlessguy , I've just published a possible fix on bauh-staging (0.8.2.-RC-2). Could you give me a feedback if it fixes your issues ?

Jan 30 '20 20:01 vinifmor

@vinifmor same thing

bauh: 0.8.2

Jan 31 '20 13:01 v1rtl

@talentlessguy , could you add a full picture of bauh with this issue ? I can have a view of what component can be messing up the layout.

Jan 31 '20 13:01 vinifmor

it is strange this issue still happens on your installation. I added a rule that doesn't allow toolbar buttons to be hidden: resize

Did you restart bauh after installing 0.8.2.RC-2 ?

@vinifmor oh that was my tiling script minimizing the window. Now it works fine tbf would be better that there was a scrollbar instead of preventing a window to become smaller

Jan 31 '20 17:01 v1rtl

@talentlessguy, there will be a UI redesign for the future feature releases. For now I'm fixing bugs. Good to hear that you problem was solved.

what determines the minimum window size? i cannot make it smaller than this: using the aur package on manjaro

@VoodaGod at the moment it is not possible. But it could be added as a configuration property.

Apr 18 '22 12:04 vinifmor

but why is it so wide? is this not a bug? it's wider than 1080 so it wouldn't even fit on a regular screen...

Apr 18 '22 13:04 VoodaGod

I had a look on the code, and it is defining the minimum width based on a screen percentage. I'm going to change this behavior. By the way, what is your resolution ?

Apr 18 '22 13:04 vinifmor

@VoodaGod , I've published a possible fix to the staging branch. You can install it through AUR (bauh-staging).

Apr 18 '22 14:04 vinifmor

@vinifmor i'm on uhd (3840x2160) on a 48". with bauh-staging i can make it much smaller: however there is no indication that columns are being cut off. i assume limiting the width of the window to the width of all columns is easier said than done? i think this should be the minimum: or the list should be horizontally scrollable if it doesn't fit into the window

as it is the fix is already an improvement though ;)

Apr 18 '22 15:04 VoodaGod

@VoodaGod thanks for the feedback. I will have a look if it is possible to lock the resizing based on the columns width.

Apr 18 '22 16:04 vinifmor

I've pushed a new change to the staging branch locking the minimum window width based on the columns. Let me know if issues arise.
