Resize installer window #18

Open edmundlaugasson opened 9 years ago

edmundlaugasson commented 9 years ago

Currently there is not possible to resize the installer window and especially it is problematic when partitioning the disk. I would propose to add window resize buttons also to the installer window. Also there would be useful to just drag window bigger with mouse like usually.

Absolutely. This is annoying since version 11. This windows is only well usable if you install on an empty computer. Especially if you like to install on an attached drive (e.g. USB-Stick) you lose oversight, as there are only 6 lines/partitions viewable at once - subtract one extended partition and one swap drive on your host system, that nearly tends to nothing. Add.: This should really only be a SDK setting of this dialog - I don#t know what is used, but usually this is just one checkbox click to make it work.

Will this be fixed in 18.1?

Is this the same installer used with LMDE? Because installing it on a netbook was impossible (Buttons were out of the visible screen space)

DirkHaar commented 7 years ago

It's always possible to move dialogues by pressing ALT while using the mouse. Neverthelesse, this issue is still open.

Maybe this could easily be improved in ubiquity/frontend/gtk_ui.py at line 945 self.live_installer.set_resizable(False) or by changing the window size in line 1008/1009 config_width = 752 config_height = 442 to higher value(s) (pseudo code: "config_height = max screen heights - panel height")? Okay, the last two handle the slide show, and at 1020f, 1050f, 1078f there are settings about RESIZE, too.

I made a pull request for that and change mentioned "False to "True". This should be taken into 18.2, if someone else could test it before release date.

I set up a fix (by just setting "...resizable(1)" and a pull request.

May someone merge?
