Please create an ability to remember maximize and size of window and type of view "View-Text/HTML".
I'm tired of changing every time.
Forgive my cry of the soul, but I think you are using your monopoly position (there is no alternative to MediaInfo) so as not to improve graphical usability.

    your monopoly position

    I have difficulties to understand that, please argue about how permitting 7+ billions of persons to use, copy, modify, distribute, or send patchs... has a link with using a monopoly position.

    As it looks like that you think that working for free is the best thing on earth, I am interested in assigning you several tasks, for $0 obviously (you think that this rate is fair if I understand well your message).

    I'm tired of changing every time

    I am tired to get aggressive complains like these ones from people who paid $0 for a tool and/or support contract, especially because I bet that I would get a "no way, I am not your slave" if I ask such person to work for me for free.


    More seriously, you are 100% free to submit a patch (made by you or someone else, your task is just to find this person) so your sentence is false. If you think it is a feature you really need, we'll not "use our monopoly position" for blocking your patch, go ahead.

    Issue here is that for the moment nobody was interested enough in this feature for developing it or sponsoring it alone; as this feature is requested by several people but not up to paying it alone (I hope that if they ask for that, they'd sponsor a bit it), we'll open the possibility to have mini-crowdfunding for such feature soon via memberships, as it looks like it is a very important feature for you I have no doubt that you'll participate.

    Accepted.

    Warning: non-paid feature request are set to low priority, I don't know when I have time to handle it.
    If you desire to accelerate the development, don't hesitate to contact me for a quotation.

    Are you kidding? Unfortunately, I do not know how to programming (I'm interested in video processing and I processed and altruistically shared many video files), but I'm sure you can set maximize position in one line of code.

    As I thought, you will not help. Found solution by myself:
    In context menu of file manager register command line mediainfo, which will be opened in terminal in maximize position. This is all that I can offer (at least something), unlike you.

    "nobody was interested enough in this feature"
    It is very strange. So your program has few users or they rarely use it or just suffer.

    Your bad character explains other bugs, should be told about them:

    • Inaccurate display of duration by default (doesn't show seconds)
    • Inaccurate display of aspect and fps (rough rounding)
      I know programs, XviD4PSP5 for example, which switched to ffmpeg instead of mediainfo because of this.

    "I am tired to get aggressive complains like these ones from people"
    I understand you, but you are a developer, you must endure criticism. Payments from Mac users are not enough? Maybe you should increase the price?
