Re: Tiny displays

All the scrollable boxes (notable Designations, Sources:Internal documents & Sources:External references) are far too small.
At three items the Designations display is extremely restricted. Multiple designations are the norm when managing Local Sites.
The restricted width of the display for external references (the path name takes up all of the visible part) combined with the small number of displayable items (5) makes this extremely difficult to use as an EDMS - another feature required for the management of Local Sites.
The tabs for all of these are only half the height of the available space and so could easily be extended.

Re: Tiny displays

Can I really be the only R6 user who has a problem with this?
Reviewing any of these lists is like trying to read a novel through a letterbox.

I'm struggling with the display now. I've got all my Wildlife Sites opened in my Locations window and want to review those which have been damaged or destroyed (another piece of legislation which LRCs are obliged to follow - National Indicators 197). I can only see 3 designations at a time and rather than rapidly selecting items in the location list and then running my eye down a list of designations to look for "damaged" or "destroyed", I have to scroll through this tiny list of 3 items for each one.

Yet there is acres of space to expand this list box.
There's absolutely no need for these tiny displays.

Re: Tiny displays

It's a good point. Many of the dialogs, windows and various controls in Recorder are far too small, especially considering the amount of space available on modern displays.
