Qiqqa Premium / Windows: qiqqa does not recall qiqqa window *maximized* window size

Qiqqa v79 Premium / Windows 10: qiqqa does not remember/restore qiqqa window maximized size, hence qiqqa does not correctly restore window size on app restart.

How to reproduce:

• start qiqqa (premium)
• maximize qiqqa window
• exit qiqqa
• restart qiqqa

This will correctly position the qiqqa window in the top/left screen corner, but the qiqqa window size will be wrong (too small) and not maximized.

(emphasis on the and there as you can store the window position+size, but when you don't store 'maximized/minimized' states as well, you will not recover the non-maximized window size when user is in the habit of maximizing/un-maximizing app window depending on user work activity.)

Aside question: is this purely a premium bug? (I don't remember if window position/size recall is a premium feature and am too lazy to check right now... ;-) )

[EDIT 2019/07] As the open source version of Qiqqa includes premium features, this is still applicable.

Running v80 (github release commit https://github.com/jimmejardine/qiqqa-open-source/commit/77469ba19d8e3f61f41d150d703a757d74bdda59) qiqqa and the problem persists.

Also observed (as with v78-79 releases previously) and maybe related: when closing/exiting Qiqqa, it keeps running in background at about 25% load (on a quadcore CPU): only opening Windows Task Manager and 'End Task' killing it will stop Qiqqa. (Note: I have let it run for 2 days in the background like that for v79 a few months ago to see if it would terminate by itself; haven't done that test on v80 as I installed only about an hour ago. 😅 )

Further looking into that last bit (Qiqqa not stopping): from the log file(s) at C:\Users\Ger\AppData\Local\Quantisle\Qiqqa\Logs directory:

A whole slew of log lines which start/look like this one:

while the session starts with this bunch:

Hm, looks like this is happening once you close Qiqqa (after hitting the 'Regenerate search index' in the tools>diagnostics qiqqa panel): seems to me my 'infrequent maintenance' Qiqqa background task is somehow hung or crashed prematurely and Qiqqa sits there waiting until forever...

These lines were logged when I hit that large 'reindex' button:

20190730.203244 WARN [Main] Invalidating Lucene index at D:\Qiqqa\base\Guest\index\ 20190730.203244 WARN [Main] Invalidating Lucene index at D:\Qiqqa\base\INTRANET_0D4E8DC2-412B-461D-B359-63E40F1359B9\index\ 20190730.203244 INFO [Main] Please restart Qiqqa for your indices to be rebuilt.

and then these were appending after closing Qiqqa by clicking the red X at top-right (closing qiqqa window):

Given those logs from the start and end of the Qiqqa run, it looks to me like the crash during start on the PDF page count there somehow nuked the background process and resulted in Qiqqa getting stuck at the end waiting for the background task there.

[GerHobbelt]

Not fixed to my satisfaction in #33, but partway there.

It's the maximized bit that's still not working and then there's Qiqqa who sometimes seems to be hipping around like a disobedient little recalcitrant frog on startup. 😞

[GerHobbelt]

Closing ^{and decluttering the issue list so it stays workable for me}: fixed in https://github.com/GerHobbelt/qiqqa-open-source mainline=master branch, pending #15 / any maintainer rights/actions.
