i can only do that the window resizes horizontally (which is quite dodgy). I tried to do resizeable in both sides but when you change the height, you see dodgy efects: Note that there are 2 controls (the 2 edit boxes) that has to be resized vertically and they should maintain the same height. This is not possible via the xml file.

Anyway, I don't see any reason to make it resizeable. All texts fit in the edit boxes, why make it bigger?

Why would that be dodgy?

Yeah, I meant only horizontally :$.

because it might be suiteable for certain texts/translations, etc.... It's not an issue about text not being fully visible though, but about possible added convenience. It is a small thing to add, so why not? :p:D

EDIT: As a matter of fact, it can be quite usefull to test how and when your translation is wrapped when you resize the window to fit the width available for certain translations.

(eg: personally this is one of the things I always do/check too in my translation. Translating text is one thing; it should also look good, even when wrapped by Plus!)

It might even be usefull to see possible loooooooooong path/file names in the file textboxes without scrolling with the cursor all the time.
