The width of Vertical toolbar needs to be adjustable, especially for the favorites toolbar

Help & Support
1

When I need the favorites toolbar, I prefer it to be displayed vertically, so that I can drag in more folders.

Toolbar NAME="Favorites Bar" STATE=right TOGGLE

The problem now is that its width varies with the folder name. If the folder name is too long, the toolbar will become very wide and cannot be adjusted.This will result in a poor layout.
So I hope that if the favorites toolbar is displayed vertically, its width can be set to a fixed or maximum value.
It's better to think like a vertical tab bar.

Set TABPOSITION=left,together  TABWIDTH=180

You czn edit the favorite entry and give it any name you like.

When using the Favorites Bar, what we often do is just drag and drop the folder,and remove it when we finish some work, without expecting to modify the name of the favorite folder.

You can click and drag the width of the tree. Why not the Favorites bar, as well?

Because it’s a toolbar not a panel, and it appears horizontally by default.

Toolbars size themselves.

We may be able to give the Favorites command an argument to make it truncate names to a fixed size, but the reason the two things work differently is that they are very different things.

Thank you!
Truncating the name to a fixed size is a feasible solution,
and the value of the fixed size needs to be customized by the user.

  • making horizontal & vertical resizable (like the folder tree) would be great feature.
