Rename dialog for Index Journal is way too small

Post by SuperDude »

So... The Index Journal's “Rename” dialog is way too small. It would be ideal if the Index Journal's “Rename” dialog could be made resizable (and have Everything remember its last size and position on screen).

Also, it would be helpful if the Index Journal paused its scrolling while the Rename dialog is open, or have an option to pause its scrolling, so a user doesn't lose track of where the entry is, relative to its position in the listing.

Thank you.

Thank you for your feedback SuperDude,

I have put on my TODO list to make the rename dialog resizable.
I will consider an option to remember the position.

I will consider an option to keep the focus in view.
Maybe something like keep_result_focus_in_view used for the main result list.

For now, please press Down, then press Up to bring the focus back into view.

Thank you for the suggestions.

I was just thinking: It would be ideal to make any dialog box that accepts user keyboard input resizable.

I agree.

Most dialogs can be resized now.

Please let me know if I have forgotten any.

Everything 1.5.0.1331a will now allow you to resize the single rename dialog.

@void:

I found 4 other dialogs that should be resizable:

Add omit result filter
Connect to ETP Server
Import and Export Settings
Edit remote Everything index

Thanks for Everything :D
