This question is about Veusz, a python-based plotting program. Not about usage, but about where to start hacking to fix a particular problem... This is on Windows.
Currently, when the program is launched it starts non-maximized, even if it was maximized last time it was closed. I can modify the shortcut to always start maximized but new windows opened within the app are always non-maximized.
Although it doesn't remember its maximized state, it does remember the size of last non-maximized window. As a workaround, I tried positioning the program top-left and resizing it as if it were maximized. However, when I open new windows from this one, they are offset from the top-left corner by the height of the "window bar". The offset does not cascade though; that is, opening a new window from an offset one results in a window in the same position.
I've been pawing through the program's files looking for somewhere window position might be saved or a default might be set. Not seeing anything, though. This is a Qt app so perhaps it's not Veusz-specific but I'm inclined to think it is. Spyder, for instance is Qt-based but I don't see this problem with it.
Does the community have any suggestions regarding changing this behavior? I don't understand the setup routine well enough yet. The source is on Github if you're feeling that helpful.
The relevant code is here in functions
closeEvent(for saving state) andsetupWindowGeometry(for loading state). https://github.com/jeremysanders/veusz/blob/master/veusz/windows/mainwindow.pyVeusz needs to save the state of the window, as well as the geometry. Maybe doing something like this http://doc.qt.io/qt-4.8/restoring-geometry.html
