Start Opera Maximiced @mikewalsh

Hi everybody:

@mikewalsh , I can't configure your opera portable launch file (see attached code) to make opera start maximiced.

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
#
# Launcher for 'portable' Opera browser
#
export HERE="$(dirname "$(readlink -f "$0")")"
#
tee "$HERE"/opera/resources/ffmpeg_preload_config.json >/dev/null <<EOF
[
  "${HERE}/opera/lib_extra/libffmpeg.so"
]
EOF
#
mkdir /opt/google
mkdir /opt/google/chrome
#
ln -s $HERE/opera/WidevineCdm /opt/google/chrome/WidevineCdm
#
if  grep -q 'Quirky April64' /etc/DISTRO_SPECS
then
	LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HERE/:$HERE/lib${LD_LIBRARY_PATH:+:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH}
	"$HERE/opera/opera" --user-data-dir=$HERE/PROFILE --enable-features=VaapiVideoDecoder --start-maximized --disable-infobars --no-sandbox "$@"
elif  grep -q 'puppy_tahr64' /etc/os-release
then
	LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HERE/:$HERE/lib${LD_LIBRARY_PATH:+:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH}
	"$HERE/opera/opera" --user-data-dir=$HERE/PROFILE --enable-features=VaapiVideoDecoder --start-maximized --disable-infobars --no-sandbox "$@"
elif grep -q 'puppy_xenialpup64' /etc/os-release
then
	LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HERE/:$HERE/lib${LD_LIBRARY_PATH:+:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH}
	"$HERE/opera/opera" --user-data-dir=$HERE/PROFILE --enable-features=VaapiVideoDecoder --start-maximized --disable-infobars --no-sandbox "$@"
else
	"$HERE/opera/opera" --user-data-dir=$HERE/PROFILE --enable-features=VaapiVideoDecoder --start-maximized --disable-infobars --no-sandbox "$@"
fi
#
rm -rf /opt/google

I acchieved this (start maximiced) doing opera start with prevous browsing pages, but It is a waste of time when you start with 10 tabs that must be downloaded.

Can you, please, tell me what must I write at LAUNCH to make opera start maximized?

Thanks a lot in advance.

@pp4mnklinux :-

Um.....you've lost me. What d'you mean by "10 tabs that must be downloaded"?

Personally, I just leave my tabs open, and have Opera set to start up again with previous tabs that were open when I close it. You say this doesn't work for you? I have around 18 tabs permanently open.....

What I DO have set-up is 5 different 'work-spaces', which allow me to group similar sites together each in their own dedicated workspace:-

Settings -> User Interface -> Enable workspaces, then just follow the instructions under "Learn more". Maybe this would help?

One thing you have to realise, opening multiple tabs at the same time takes a lot of RAM. With 32 GB, this isn't a problem for me.....but Opera should always open "maximized", since it's specified as a "--switch" in the wrapper-script. Isn't it working for you?

Mike.

Opera is in total control of how it's window looks.
The Window manager in Puppy has no control over it.

If you maximize it.
Close Opera.
Restart it.

Are you saying it does not open in the same size as it was when you closed it?

Check this in Opera settings.

Hi and thanks for your answers.

AS i said, opera only continue maximized if you chose the option "Retain tabs frim previous session" but what I want is make it start maximizer with the fist one " start maximizer with start page"

I saw you included at LAUNCH the instruction to start maximizer but it doesn't work for me (3 diff. Puppies)

Please, can you tell me what should I do with launch file to start opera always maximized?

Thanks
