google-chrome: make start at full screen?

[boof]

it would help,

google-chrome --help gives

there's no ,manual entry to google-chrome.bin.

looked at file, don't understand it.
Super key + <up arrow> or ALT + S, which i can put on the command line
IFF i'm told the syntax.

Chrome/chromium has a ton of command line switches.

Try

Code: Select all

--start-maximized

or

Code: Select all

--start-fullscreen

See these pages for more command line switches.

@dancytron :-

Ah, cheers for those, Dan. I couldn't for the life of me remember them.....despite looking in Peter Beverloo's list.

I must be slipping....!

sorry, but not quite what i wanted. i'm watching https://10play.com.au/Bold/ and the viewing window is still small. there's an icom on screen which i havebto click to expand the picture window. it's that process, <F11,>, i want to put into the command line, but i don't know how.
thx.

[boof]

sorry, but not the solution I need.

included are 3 files
the source code for the whole page, the source code for its contrnt window and a pic of both in normal state'
see https;//files.io/uBhjYSOIJ6Jn

towards the lower right of the comtent window there is a small white rectangle with marks in the corners. If it is clicked, the content window fills the screen.

what I want is to automate clicking that box from the command line.
pressing <F11> only allows that picture to fill the screen, as do both --start-fullscreen and --start-maximized

I want the content window maximized.
tks

I don't think the browser controls that. I think that's the webpage itself.

I don't know how you'd do that...

@boof :-

I'm afraid that, versatile as our Puppy is, there ARE limits to what miracles even she can perform. As Dan says, I don't think you CAN make Puppy automate the actual webpage HTML code. Not from a bash script, and not without learning a lot more code than I can process....

That "source code" you talk about will be executed by the server that the website itself runs on. It's not accessible from Puppy.

Would it REALLY hurt you to click on a button or two??

Mike.

What, are you trying to discourage innovation or something?

If it were me, I know that telling me it's not possible would just make me try all that much harder.

i accept if it can't be done, it just means i'll have to be watching when it turns on. i may remove the fullscreen option, because it seems to block starting on the home screen. pernaps i just need --start-http://~ on another line or as a following 2nd option after it?

[boof]

just a thought:
can i edit and save the page and window html, then call it to run the video? what do i need to chang, pls?

Does that fullscreen button appear in the same place all the time? If yes, you could probably automate clicking it with one of the chrome macro recording extensions. I don't use chrome but a similar firefox extension seems to work (tested it on this site to open a specified sub-forum). Maybe even xdotool can be used for this task.
