Title: Make Templates windows (Preferences > Metadata Templates) resizable
Post by: Ger on February 08, 2021, 08:03:21 PM
This is not a true feature request, but more a nice-to-have to serve a lazy user.
I have several metadata templates and I try to have the name a bit descriptive.

However, the window with all stored templates (Preferences > Metadata Templates) is rather small - and not resizable. Is it possible to make this window resizable?
(If I now resize the Preferences window, the Tags window resizes; the templates windows continues to be same size.

This is intentional. It made more sense to make more room for the variable expressions and reserve enough room for typical template names with, say, 30 to35 characters.
My estimate was than 35 characters visible, with the easy ability to scroll horizontally if needed, would be more than sufficient.

+1 for it being resizable (actually, any window should be resizable)

The window is resizable. But it favors the more critical space for variable templates.

I've changed the proportions and distribution a bit for IMatch 2021. Unless you use really long names without any abbreviations, you should be good.
