#308 Maximized state not remembered

[Bruce Pascoe]

When Task Coach is closed while maximized, it doesn't remember this when you restart. Instead, you get a window the same size as maximized window but not actually maximized.

This is fine in an installed setting, but when using Task Coach portably (which I do) it's a pain because if I maximize it on one system and later run it on a system with a lower resolution, the window is too big.

Restored size and "maximized or not?" state should instead be remembered separately...

Actually, it is almost fixed, but not entirely. When options "Minimise main window when closed" and "Hide main window when iconized" are both enabled, if you close the main window in maximized state (with the top-right X), it becomes hidden (which is okay)...but when you click on the tray icon to show the main window again, it appears in a non-maximized state.

The maximized state is lost because of the "Minimise main window when closed" option. Can someone take a look into the source code to see if the minimize method cancels the maximized state of the window?

Thanks.

Works fine for me on OSX, Linux, XP and Seven. Are you using something else ? Windows 8 maybe ?

No, I'm running on Windows 7, 64-bit. Though I would like the issue to be solved someday, I found a pseudo-solution: I've unckecked the "Minimise main window when closed" option. In this way, when I close the window, Taskcoach app is closed (=exit) instead of minimizing: that prevents the window from losing its maximized state.
