default view window to previous size

jgt1942 · 08-22-2014, 03:49 AM

Can I default the Calibre window to the last size I had for the viewing window. Currently it defaults to a size that is about 2/3 of the height of my window. I'd prefer if I could size the viewing window and then the next time I opened a book it would default to my previous size.

If there is a setting in the preferences I could not find it nor could I find anything in the manual.

Click the preferences->button in the viewer and look under the Miscellaneous section.

I must be doing something wrong because I don't see anything about setting the viewing windows.
I clicked Preferences > In the advanced section I clicked Miscellaneous and in this section I don't see anything about the viewing window when I open a book. I don't think I was clear enough in my original post. The main window opens to the max my screen will allow but when I open a book the book opens in a small window. I can resize the window by clicking on a corner but I'd like for it to default to the size I want for viewing the book.

I can click on the button in the open book window to make the window the size of my screen but this just results in a super big window where 2/3 of the window is just empty white space.
