Request: Fix reports pane splitter position

This request is sort of hard to describe, but I’ll try my best. (The “Fix” in the topic title isn’t alluding to fixing something that’s broken, but rather fixing something in place.)

In the reports view, there is a horizontal splitter separating the report list from the report text. If I resize the reports pane, the splitter tries to maintain the same size ratio between the top and bottom parts of the pane (so if it’s right in the middle of the pane, it will try and stay right in the middle as the pane size increases or decreases).

I would like to request that it stay a fixed distance from the top of the pane instead. Right now, when I make the pane bigger, it’s almost always to make logs more readable. However, after doing this, I then have to move the splitter back up toward the top of the pane to reclaim all the real estate I’m after.

That makes sense. We’ll add it to the todo list. Hopefully it’s possible.

Thanks!

Turns out this is trivial to do, so it will be done for beta 3.

Cool. Just to take the topic of the reports pane a little bit further, I’m wondering if it would be possible to add the option to make the splitter vertical instead of horizontal. On a widescreen monitor, the horizontal view results in a lot of unused screen real estate.

Also, I pinged this thread yesterday: viewtopic.php?f=156&t=12065. I’ve been getting a lot of requests for a more intuitive, contextual link between the reports pane and the jobs/tasks panes, so I thought I’d check and see if there was any news in that direction.

Thanks!

We’ll look add adding options for both of these. If they’re pretty straightforward, we’ll try to do them both for 7.0.

Cheers,
Ryan
