BTT configuration window

Feature Requests
1

Hallo,

...when opening the BTT configuration window I get a 'very small' third column (- see screen 1- ), which I make each time larger. (screen 2)

Is there a way (in the future) to set/save the BTT GUI window layout, not the size, but the 3 column width (i.e. save the width of the 3 columns in % or so somehow), so that the BTT GUI opens always in the layout as for example in screen 2 .

Thx,

I would also like some option for keeping the width of the three configuration columns of BTT.

Save/Set the width of the three windows entering three percentages would be perfect.

Another approach wold be an "Automatic arrangement of the configuration columns". This option could arrange the 3 columns as 34% - 33% - 33%, that I suppose it's the most convenient view for the main part of users.

The main problem I am experiencing is when the main window is resized. When I resize the main window, the columns width don't maintain the relation aspect, and it's a little bit annoying to change the widths in these cases.

For me the column sizes are saved even after restart, however I'm using much newer version 4.918 (2024120104).

I'm also running 4,918.

You are right that the width of the three columns are saved after restart.

But when the main window is resized, the "Action Configuration" window is not resized, and "Triggers" and "Action" columns are resized too much.

As example, the first screenshot is the main window at 100% of the screen and the second one is the same window resized at 50% of the screen:

In the other hand, sometimes when I change of app in the side-bar or I change of trigger section in the upper menu, the widths of columns are altered and I have to re-size them.

Mhm I spent a lot of time on this to get it to a resizing state that makes sense to me, my priority was to keep the right configuration part at the size it was set to for as long as possible and make the left columns resize proportionally. Personally I found this to be a good solution.

Maybe I can allow to change the resizing priorities for the column, but it's really easy to mess up the resizing completely by doing that.

6

It would be feasible to have an option in Preferences to select a resizing columns behaviour?

Something like:

  • Resize Triggers and Actions Columns Equally, don't resize "Actions Configuration"
  • Resize All Columns Equally

If this would also be dangerous to mess up the resizing, forget it and don't touch nothing.

Yes, I can add it for testing. In real usage I don't think it makes too much sense because the config column by its nature has some limit at which width it starts looking stupid (and it gets really complicated when adding maximum widths while enforcing proportional resizing).

Forget it, don't spend time on this.

It's true that if I put the width of the third column narrower and I resize the main window, everything is resized fine, the resized view is correct.

For the next version I have at least added the min width customization, I think that can indeed be helpful:

Wow!

Great!

Running 4.926 and the new minimum width options are working very well, they are really helpful.

The only brake I see is regarding the difference between screens for users that sometimes use the laptop screen, sometimes a big display and sometimes both together.

Do you think it would be useful to use percentage instead of px? Or to have the option to choose px or %?
