Excuse me. Resizable pane with treeview inside (we are talking about this, right) is not elegant? Maybe I am just biased by my experience, but assuming we have limited space (dialog) what could be more elegant? Even theoretically (or in other words -- why it is not elegant?).
Personally I'm not keen on any dialogue needing to be resizable or scrollable just to use it. Where in modern GUIs do you have interface elements that must be resized or scrolled horizontally to be used?, not very frequently because it is annoying. For a treeview there is a great deal of wasted space. Look at a really deep treeview like the one in the windows registry editor, One has to resize the left hand pane extremely wide, and there is a great deal of wasted space due to a treeview's shape. Elegance is about refined beauty and style, I don't think that this applies to a clumsy resizable pane. However, this is probably the simplest solution, and no other solution seems much better at present. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
