Gimp 3.0.4 problem with window resizing after loading image

[mrstanlez]

How to reply the issue ?

Linux tested: Debian, Arch Linux, Manjaro, Ubuntu, Linux Mint
Version: Gimp 3.0.4
Monitor: 4k LG(3820 x 2160)
Gimp window size: 1920 x 1080

If I click on large image for opening it in Gimp,it will open it of course.
But Gimp window will immediately resize itself to the image size.

Thank you.

I have a bit of sympathy. I often make a short video capture to demonstrate something about Gimp and use a defined 1280x720 window.

kubuntu 24.04: KDE has very good window controls to lock size and position but Gimp 3.0.4 manages to circumvent the settings.

I find that opening a second image does resize the Gimp window, very annoying. I use a one- line bash script to restore sizes using wmctrl https://linuxcommandlibrary.com/man/wmctrl Of course this is for X11 rather than Wayland.

Code:

wmctrl -r GIMP -e 144,144,144,1280,700
