Data compare - resizeable sessions settings dialog

[jdmarch]

When re-ordering columns, it's very helpful to be able to see all the columns without scrolling back and forth. Therefore it would be useful for the sessions setting dialog to be resizeable. Thanks!

I'd like to second this suggestion.

I believe that jdmarch is referring to scrolling vertically - in my case I'd like to be able to make the dialog wider.

The column headings in the delimited files are pretty long and I am only seeing about 12 characters of the column name on the session settings dialog. Sometimes the names are not unique in the first 12 characters.

Thanks for considering this.

Jonathan and Dan,

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll add resizing the Data Viewer's Session Settings dialog to our wish list.

Thanks!

Can you update me on where this is on the wish list?
3.0.6 maybe ? :-)

Thanks!

Well, it won't make it into 3.0.6 since we just released it.

I'm not sure when we'll be able give you some relief on this -- the design issue isn't as simple as you may think. (For one thing, all the tab-page frames for session settings, across all session types, share the same dimensions.)

I'll bring it up again here and let you know if we come up with a solution to implement.

That's great, so when you solve the issue for this dialog, you'll be solving the same problem as it occurs throughout the program. Lovely!

Gotcha. I thought it was just a matter of setting the dialog as resizeable. Thanks Tim for clarifying that.
