Hello,

I'm using TiddlyDesktop version 0.0.14.
Button: Full-size is not working.

When I open my Tiddly with browser --> ok.

Any ideas?
Thanks, Stefan

Full screen = Full Size ?

I think its because Wikis in tiddlyDesktop are already full screen in some ways, maximise the window for maximum size. 

With a local app you can maximise the applications, with browsers they have a full screen option to reduce the "chrome" (menu and toolbars, that is a browser function (not an application feature) unless it is written as such eg; Image viewers etc...

What exactly do you want when you use Full-screen?

Hi Tones,

TiddlyDesktop is running maximized in Firefox. Opening my Wiki will open a new window.

Opening the Wikki with Firefox and using the wiki tool full-screen.jpg  the Taskbar, tabs of browser etc. will disappear - you see only the wiki
In TiddlyDesktop is 'full-screen' without function.

Stefan,

For you to say the following "TiddlyDesktop is running maximized in Firefox" suggests you are using TiddlyDesktop to "host a node server" otherwise I don't understand the sentence.

  1. If the wiki is used in TiddlyDesktop, the full screen is effectively "disabled" because it is already "full screen within the application window".
  2. if the wiki is used in the browser full screen works because this is function of the browser, to hide the "chrome" (menus and application controls)
In item 1 Above, other than an inactive button, what would you like to happen? Remembering that you can maximise the application!

In TiddlyDesktop, I can also open a tiddler in a "new window" and maximise that, in the browser it carries a little more "chrome".

Regards
Tones

Hello Tones,

I pasted it wrong - correct is:
TiddlyDesktop is running maximized. Opening my Wiki will open a new window.

--> as you wrote in item1: in TiddlyDesktop, the full screen is effectively "disabled"

Thanks for feedback
Stefan

Hi Stefan

I can confirm that the “full screen” button in the “Tools” tab of the sidebar doesn’t work in TiddlyDesktop. As Tones points out, one can still use the operating system buttons to make the window full screen instead, but it still seems like a bug. I’ve made a ticket here and will investigate when I can:


Best wishes

Jeremy
