sometimes you need the overview in the cache area, where you have to resize the window to a bigger size, so that you can see all directory names and sizes

the optionwindow just should be resizable
so that you can see the other columns in the cachemenu
Not enough---

Hello !
• As a workaround, you could use
ResizeEnableRunner a tiny program that does the trick, I tested for the Option boxes… hummm… with a special language DLL, though
- But it works fine with the embedded English too…
Kind regards,

basically all windows (like batchconvert, rename) should be resizable, to have a better overview on big screens

I agree.
The little hack program linked above is also interesting.

I support your request 100000000% - it's Futurama logic
But it'll have to wait for XnView 1.83.

+4 and wanted to bring this wish to front again. Making a window resizable is usually just a parameter change in a function call, so very quick to implement. Also consider other windows like export etc - there are topics on that:
* in XnView MP

* XnView classic

No
it's not easy at all, yes make the dialog resizable is not a problem, but all control in it must follow a layout. In win32, there is no layout....

Bad news that the framework is not comfortable at that point
In XnViewMP, options is already resizable. In Win32, is it easy to recognize screen size and set dialogs dependent on that, e.g. to 66% of screen size? So on my laptop (1024x768) the dialog would be smaller than on my external monitor (1600x1200).

It's win32, the first UI of Windows
