[Minor cosmetic] Improve the Save as dialog resize handling

Status: Declined

This behavior is common to all Windows-based file dialogs, not just LabVIEW.

Shrinking the dialog height seems buggy.

The folder navigation disappears too soon and leaves loads of wasted space instead of just shrinking the folder/file view.

This is the minimum height before the file/folder view disappears:

The dialog minimum width also seems large for no discernible reason (controls wounld't be clipped even if smaller).

That's a Microsoft Windows dialog box, not a National Instruments dialog box. You'll get the same behavior saving a file in Notepad or other Windows applications.

 

You'll need to redirect your objections to Microsoft.
