[Ipe-discuss] prefs.editor_size ignored?

[Nikolaus Rath]

Hello,

I'm trying to change the default size of the editor dialog that pops up
when editing text objects. However, it seems that the size is totally
unaffected by the settings. If I change other settings in the same file
(e.g. prefs.auto_external_editor), it works just fine.

For example, I tried
prefs.editor_size = { 60, 20 }
and
prefs.editor_size = { 1200, 600 }
without any apparent effect.

Am I doing something wrong?

Related to that: is there a way to automatically close the editor dialog
when the external editor returns? I was using prefs.auto_external_editor
= true for a while, but always having to close both the editor and then
the dialog became a bit annoying.


Thanks for ipe!

Best,
Nikolaus
