Feature request - Resizeable sidebar

[psychemedia]

On a Mac at least, the container listing sidebar on the left hand side of the UI appears to be fixed with. If containers have long names it can be hard to identify them.

It would be useful if:

• there was a tooltip pop up to show the full name of a container if you hover over it;
• the sidebar was resizeable - eg the ability to drag the divider line to give a wider view.

I think a tooltip would be an easier solution than resizing the sidebar at this point in the app. It would also mimic the current look and feel for the image/repo tooltip

Re-sizing would be preferred as that falls under UI standards. Tooltip only if the full name is not visible.

@swdgit Do you have a link to said UI standards ?

Microsoft and Apple developed some serious design interaction standards and now it is just expected that a UI navigation panel will resize.

You are using Bootstrap, ReactJS and JQuery and there are several examples on the web on how to create re-sizable panels. https://github.com/tomkp/react-split-pane

@swdgit thanks for documenting the different links available - The tomkp split pane sounds like the proper approach. Feel free to submit a PR with these changes in :)
