Separate the Lister size when playing sound files

Post by *Slavic »

Size of the Lister window can be memorised in menu Options > Save position, then it stores in wincmd.ini in the [Lister] section, values dx and dy. These values are used any time with exception of playing the sound files: in this case parameter dy is ignored and vertical size of Lister is minimal as for sound player, but the parameter dx is still used. If we save the position in this mode, both current dx and dy will be saved and next time Lister will be opened with minimal vertical size in common text/binary/image modes. This is quite unexpected and confusing.

It would be better to separate the "sound player" Lister size from "common" size. Then we also will be able to decrease the width of sound player (usually "common" width it's quite big) without affecting other modes. And saving the position when playing sounds will not confuse users.
