Hi,

When editing the name of an object an edit dialog appears on the screen.

Can you make the dialog re-size as needed to show the entire name - I use long names.

Thanks.

Hi Frederick,

The "Edit name" dialog is resizeable in width, if you drag the window on the left or right sides you can stretch it out to as wide as you want.

Hi Michael,

I have never fully adapted to what I call a "whack a mole" interface.

If you recall back in early Windows, if an thing on the screen was raised you could click it, if it was recessed you could edit it, if it was flat you could just read it.

Current interfaces love to require the user to move the mouse around to see what might (or might not) respond. And hidden buttons and edit boxes are so much fun!

I was trained as a GUI designer - modern designs don't get my vote.

The point of that rant is that dialogs/windows used to have a little thing in the lower right corner telling you the dialog/window was re-sizeable.

Not so common these days.

Glad to see the dialog box in question remembers my setting.

I like that.

Frederick
