Easy and consistent (re)sizing of decorations

[donkdonk]

Sizing of decorations with pixel resolution is somewhat cumbersome, not fast and not consistent with the properties dialog of controls.

You'll have to use the 'resize objects' button on the toolbar, which I overlooked for a long time....

I'd like the size of FP objects to display in pixels when I hover over them. This should work for ALL objects, not just decorations. Maybe a 'size' tool?

Right-click->Properties to determine object size is cumbersome, and doesn't work for objects that don't have that property...

A good companion for the "Resize" operation...

@sbus,

[..] Right-click->Properties to determine object size is cumbersome [..]

Yes, you're right. But I am talking about SETTING the size, and for controls you can do this in the properties dialog. It would be consistent to have it for decorations as well

[..] FP objects to display in pixels when I hover over them [..]

Yes, would be nice. But my idea is about SETTING the size.

Though this idea was posted before this duplicate idea: http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW-Idea-Exchange/Size-of-Decorations/idc-p/3032497, I am closing this idea as it has fewer kudos and unfortunately we cannot combine kudos for duplicate ideas.
