Remember File Dialog Size

Deadline
1

Is there any way to make Deadline Monitor remember the size of the file dialog box when it opens?

For example, when setting the paths to the various render plugins, the file dialog opens and it is pretty small. If I adjust the size and make it large, the next time a file dialog is required (when I need to browse to select the next plugin to use)… it opens small again and I have to resize it again.

Thanks!

I should also note… not only is it a hassle to have to resize the dialog each time, but I also have to shift the Size/Modified columns over each time as their position is not remembered either. So since my filenames are quite long, they are cropped off each time the dialog is opened and the columns must be shifted over just to read the full filename.

Thanks!

This issue will actually be addressed in Deadline 6. The new Qt interface automatically handles this since it is using the native file browser for the operating system.
