Print dialogue: Make 'Printername" horiz. scrollable

Post by Peter2 »

Sometime the names of network-printers are so long that they can not be displayed in the standard print-dialogue.

So please make the printer-select-menu horizontable scrollable (or increase the standard-width of it). For example MS Outlook has this feature.

Regards

Hi Peter...

Resizing the width of the print dialog works for me.

I use a Windows utility called Sizer to enable resizing of any dialog.

I don't mean the entire print-dialogue, I mean the dropdown-list where I select the "Name" of the printer. (Maybe Sizer can help, but for all users a solution in XnView would be better.)

That combo box appears to be as big as it is going to get without redesigning the dialog.
