[Bug 1131416] Re: Dialogs should open in the center of the openshot window not in the center of the screen
So I am looking into this bug to learn about openshot source code and so far I have realized that:
- The default position for new windows are center of the parent window, am I right?
- There is a method named "gtk.Window.set_transient_for(parent)" which can modify the parent window.
- so all we need to do is to set parent window of each new window correctly and they will be positioned correctly.
-- for example the result of "self.frmNewProject.get_transient_for()" is None in "openshot/windows/NewProject.py" when you run it the "__init__" method in calss "frmNewProject"
- if that doesn't fix it then we can call this function after its parent have been set.
-- gtk.Window.set_position(gtk.WIN_POS_CENTER_ON_PARENT)

Title:
Dialogs should open in the center of the openshot window not in the
center of the screen
Status in OpenShot Video Editor:
Confirmed
Bug description:
If you have two monitors that are registered as one big screen in the
system. The openshot dialogs pops up in the center of the screen which
meant they are spread over both monitors. Better it would be if
dialogs are opened in the center of the openshot window.
