Re: [ gpsdrive ] feature request: fullscreen map

[info@4x4falcon.com]

Hi David,

The changes stretch the map image whereas the maximise button does not.

I agree that it's not an ideal solution and was looking at moving the whole 
section from about line 4752 where the window sizing is done to a separate 
file and function which could be called if no geometry had been specified on 
the command line.

Unfortunately it's been about 15years since I have done any C programming and 
have never used automake/autoconf etc and I'm still coming to terms with using 
svn so don't want to move it to another file just yet.  This is the first 
software that I've really been interested in doing some work on in that time 
as I can see great potential for it.

I now have the geometry from the command line being read when the programme 
starts but have not yet sorted the resizing using the gtk_ parse geometry 
function.


Cheers
Ross
