Resizable window/panel #41

Closed dgmaia closed 4 years ago

dgmaia commented 4 years ago

Would be possible to make the main window/panel resizable?

The symbols I have been working on all have really long names, its been a bit difficult to work without be able to read its full name.

@dgmaia I finally found some time to make some long overdue plugin updates, and I think I fixed this issue. Can you download version 0.20 and let me know if your experience is improved?

dgmaia commented 4 years ago

Thanks man, definitely better now. Can't resize the panel but the dropdown list expands to show all items names. Cheers, really appreciate.

Glad to hear it, and thanks for using my plugin!

@dgmaia I had to revert the plugin to the previous select box implementation (which cut off long names) because we lost the ability to search by typing with the newer select box I implemented.

So as a compromise, I am now setting a tooltip on the select box, which shows the full name of the currently selected item. It's not ideal, but I don't have a lot of options (without expanding the window, which is a last resort). Please let me know how it works for you.

Thanks for the heads up I'm testing right now.

Yeah =/ It's not ideal for my use case... tooltip takes a while to popup. But if you really need to revert to the old way, it does help.

I didn't know was possible to type on the field. When I see a select box, I think that I have to pick an option from a list. But I couldn't make it work. Typing something didn't filter the options and hitting 'return/enter' or tab, didn't change it either.
