#190 tab and font size not remembered with recordWindowState

[Joachim Kock]

I have a file I need to view in a very small font size (12) and a very large tab size (24).
So I select recordWindowState and set these. But when I reopen the file later, the settings are not respected. Instead the file opens in my standard settings (fontsize 18 and tabsize 4).
Thisbug is seen both in the new 9.0.1 and in the previous version from before the file window menu was made into an [I] button.

At the moment, this is not a bug, but rather a design. Currently the Record Window State feature records the encoding, the window geometry and the selection as extended file system attributes. You can see this from a Terminal window using the xattr command line tool. For instance, if you enabled Record Window State on a file called foobar, type:

xattr -l foobar

That said, we could turn this ticket into a feature request...

This RFE is now implemented.
Changes committed to the repository (rev. 1568 (sourceforge.net)). The core must be rebuilt.
