Bookmark Manager - Allow window to be resized to ANY size

Status: Declined

Any idea that has not received any kudos within a year after posting will be automatically declined. 

For some reason, one can't make the Bookmark Manager smaller than a certain size. I see no reason why...

 

It is already annoying that a lot of windows (Context Help, Search Results, Probe, etc.) are brought to the foreground when a person clicks on any LV window (VIs, etc.). Sometime a person needs to have other documents open (pdf, excel, etc). Not being able to even resize a window to any size is a hindrance to productivity.

 

Please make Bookmark Manager resizable to ANY size.

You can make this change yourself, with your current version of LabVIEW.

  1. Open <LabVIEW>\resource\dialog\BookmarkManager\managers\Default\Default Bookmark Manager.lvproj
  2. Open BMark_MainWindow.vi
  3. Open VI Properties (Ctrl-I).
  4. Select the Window Size category.
  5. Change the Minimum Panel Size to be width and height of 0.

 Be aware that at smaller sizes you may not be able to see the warning indicator when there are VIs that might have bookmarks that are not shown.
