That's OK, thanks for the honesty and thanks for developing this great application :) It was the main tool I used to get my dream job so I'm very grateful! On Friday, 16 June 2023 at 19:42:16 UTC+1 Peter Bienstman wrote: > The reason it doesn't show up very well is because you have a black >

The reason it doesn't show up very well is because you have a black background. I'll add your suggestions to my todo list, but I'm afraid they're not very high on the list... Cheers, Peter On Fri, Jun 16, 2023 at 11:59 AM Neil F wrote: > It's true, but it's user-controlled so it's optional.

It's true, but it's user-controlled so it's optional. It will cater to both groups: 1. The group of users who have short questions and long answers--or for whatever reason wants to see more of the answer box than the question box or vice versa--can resize the boxes to suit their preference. 2.

Thanks! I don't think dragging to change the size is always a good idea, since different cards could have very different sizes. Cheres, Peter On Thu, Jun 15, 2023 at 4:26 PM Neil F wrote: > Thank you for the explanation, now I understand the difficulty. > > The single box is pretty good. IMO

Thank you for the explanation, now I understand the difficulty. The single box is pretty good. IMO the "fixed size" option can be enhanced by allowing the user to drag to resize the boxes' proportion to whatever suits them (saved either for the current application run only or in the config

The problem is that after some library changes, it's no longer easy to figure out how many lines a card is. Note that this depends on font size, width of your window,... Bit I guess I make the single box the default in the future. Peter On Mon, 12 Jun 2023, 22:24 Neil F, wrote: > Or the

Or the "Fixed size" option where you can drag the slider to choose the respective fixed size of the Q and A boxes. On Monday, 12 June 2023 at 21:16:25 UTC+1 Neil F wrote: > I see, thanks for the explanation. > The adaptive mode can work very simply: just restrict the box size to the > text. So

I see, thanks for the explanation. The adaptive mode can work very simply: just restrict the box size to the text. So if there are only 3 lines of text, there is really no need to show 5 blank lines above and below, so that the answer box is crammed. Seems like an obvious UX to me, not sure why

The adaptive option is based on a heuristic which an upgrade to the library broke. I'd suggest you use the single box option. Cheers, Peter On Sun, 11 Jun 2023, 17:01 Neil F, wrote: > Hi all, > > Is there any way to resize the Question and Answer boxes? I keep questions > rather terse,

Hi all, Is there any way to resize the Question and Answer boxes? I keep questions rather terse, whereas the Answer contains a block of programming code that's long. I noticed there's an option under the "General" tab called "Show question and answer in two boxes with adaptive size" but that
