Size of file open/save dialog?

Can the default size of the file open/save dialog be set somewhere? Mine had decided to be taller than my display so the bottom is off the screen where I can't grab it to drag it up smaller.

Re: Size of file open/save dialog?

Depends on which open/save dialog you are referring to (some applications have their own). If it is the GtkFileChooserDialog, then:

gsettings set org.gtk.Settings.FileChooser window-size '(w, h)'

...where w is the width and h is the height.

Edit: Note that it still has a minimum size enforced to ensure that all elements will fit.

yep, thats the one, I dropped it down to 600x600 to get it back on the screen and was then able to make it a little bigger. I wonder though why it decided to default to too big, this is on a 'new' laptop so a new install.
