Automatically open maximized window when launching from applications launcher about tilix HOT 8 OPEN

but I am not going to open tilix from terminal

If you open tilix using a desktop file from the menu, add --maximize to the Exec entry of this file.

cp /usr/share/applications/com.gexperts.Tilix.desktop ~/.local/share/applications

and edit it:

....
Exec=tilix --maximize
....

from tilix.

It doesn't work

It doesn't work

In my environment it works without any problem. Arch, XFCE.

$ grep 'Exec=tilix' ./.local/share/applications/com.gexperts.Tilix.desktop
Exec=tilix --maximize
Exec=tilix --action=app-new-window
Exec=tilix --action=app-new-session
Exec=tilix --preferences

from tilix.

I am on Fedora, Gnome, Wayland, zsh, although Tilix fails to open as maximized window in bash too.

If it does not work from CLI, I guess the reason is Wayland. How does it behave on xorg?
If it works from CLI, you should determine how launcher works (maybe not with desktop files)

It works from CLI just fine. It also used to work if you set the number of columns as 140 and the number of rows as 34. But a couple of days ago it stopped working even if I set columns and rows and 500. The default gnome terminal opens maximized if I set a high number of columns and rows.

Are there any settings for the icons in the launch area? The command may need to be specified there. I don't use Gnome and this is just a suggestion.

You usually copy an appropriate file from /usr/share/applications to ~/.local/share/applications and redact the line that starts with "Exec". But it didn't help.
