Maximum print output screen add to user preferences window per user option

Thanks Terry. We've had a couple of customers complain about it not being controllable.

Thank you Terry, This was definitely one of those arbitrary choices that don't make everyone happy.. especially considering today's generalisation of wide screen (read 27 to 34" display), and having a print-output maxed to the whole screen is just ugly and a non-sense. Please make this a user-preferences setting so at least everyone has their own choices..

When this MAX Report Window showed up, all of our users assumed it was a bug that IT could fix. We contacted our partner immediately and was told this was an "Enhancement", but they had heard complaints from others. We thought that surely this would be fixed in the next release, but it was not addressed. Our organization is fortunate enough to provide wide screen monitors and the reports only take up a third of the screen at most not to mention the wasted time mousing across 32+ inches to go from Print to Close for each report. Please help us!

Thanks Terry for replying me and giving me this link.

As said I have clients who need this to be 'optional' and have been reaching out asking for a solution...

It should preferably work like all MS applications, and remember the last setting\size.

I know Winthrop have a 'workaround' in their Power Tools... but based on even Dave's description.. it sounds cloogie and looks like something is wrong with the application, because it maximizes, then resizes the window and causes flickering during this process.

Besides that - I can't in good conscience ask my clients to PAY to have this reverted.

It does have a 30 day 'trial' but that's by description, temporary

For all you do thank you!

I think printing to a wide screen is awful! I prefer an option for user preference.

Please add an option in User Preferences, or at very least a dex.ini setting. We just upgraded from GP 18.2 to 18.4 and did not realize that the default had been changed i TGP 18.3. We have end users who are asking to go back to how it was in GP 18.2. A preference allows the flexibility for users to choose what they want.

Agreed! This should be optional. As a general rule, with any application, the user experience should be customizable as much as possible, especially when making a change that potentially impacts a user's workflow.

Agreed that I'd like to see this as an optional/configurable feature.

Seems like a logical easy step to make everyone happy!

Please make this a user preference. I hate that it pops up and takes up my whole screen, and then when I hit the button to make it smaller, it goes to a very narrow sliver to one side and I have to manually make it big enough to see it. This is way worse that it was before.

GP Power Tools solves this by remembering the position, size and state of the window when closed on a per user basis and restoring it when the window opens.
