[VLC] resizing control window doesn't resize the timeview

[diver]

Normally, under BeOS you could resize vlc to show expanded version of time view. Under Haiku you could do it too, but only once.

Can't reproduce this. Can you elaborate a bit more what you mean by "only once"?

[axeld]

Ah, don't mind, I see what you mean :-) When the VLC control window is maximized, the timeview gets larger and takes more space - but only the first time you enlarge that window.

If i understand the problem as "resizing vlc control window didn't resize the timeview" , then it works great here under vmware with hrev21836, vlc-0.8.6c-BeOS

I just checked and it still not working.

This might help show this problem better, note the black area won't expand back out after shrinking it down one time.

After resizing 2 times, time view still does not resize in hrev28339 pre-alpha.

[diver]

Still here in hrev32617.

[diver]

Still here in hrev35569.

[diver]

Still reproducible in hrev38300.

VLC no longer even works, as it was linked against a different libz.

Close?

[waddlesplash]

No response. Closing.

[diver]

This is still an issue.

I'm almost sure, that I had this problem with the 0.8.6 (the latest with native GUI) version on BeOS R5.0.3 / Zeta.

If i remember correctly, the 0.5.x - 0.7.x rev VLC had nice GUI features, but in later revisions many of this features was disabled because they was broken, and nobody fixed them. I remember, because i talked about it with my friends.

Please, check first in BeOS. (If you did that, then sorry for noise.)

@waddlesplash: there is a working version at ​http://haiku.uwolke.ru/repo/binaries-x86_gcc2/#En . It is also easy to workaround the libz problem with some symlinks to run the version from haikuware (and besides these UI issues it works quite well).

I've just tested again in BeOS and it works correctly there.
