Request: Wider region to resize panel widths

Post by DrJJWMac »

I generally have difficulty to grab hold of the edge to the split panels to resize them. Would you consider adding a region at the bottom action bar so that we can grab it to slide the panel width?

Alternatively, it would also help when you could increase the width of the region between the two panels that we have to grab to resize.

A similar approach would help to mirror on the left side.

I can try widening the active range a bit.

Hello not sure if this is related but I've just downloaded 14.1.5 and, when in widescreen view, I'm unable to adjust the width of the attachment/tag cloud/browser/formatted pane. I can adjust the height of the pane when in compact mode though. I'm on Ventura 13.0.1.

Yes, I see it, too. It was introduced in 14.1.5 and is fixed for the next update.

Please download 14.1.5 again, there was a silent update to fix this.

There is a similar problem with the Formatted / Browser / Attachments / Tag Cloud panels. The area for resizing these panels is extremely small, especially on large screens. Interestingly, the area where the panel can be resized is a bit larger than the area where the cursor indicates that the panel can be resized. This makes it difficult to find the right spot.

Calibrating that is a bit trickier than it might seem. I'll take a look.

This should be improved in the next update. Post again when it's available if the area is not quite sufficient.
