Comments Panel

Ignition
1

This is a minor issue, but wondering if there is an easy work around.

The comments panel “Add Note” and “Cancel” push buttons shift location if you attach a file with a long path name. This can cause the buttons to become inaccessible if the control is sized too small.

Could you shorten the file name when it grows too large for the control size.

C:…\my_really_long_filename.pdf

Thanks,

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. A workaround would be to put a button below the comments panel, and have it resize the panel width on demand using system.gui.resizeComponent(). Making the panel wider is unfortunately the only workaround I could come up width, but at least this way it isn’t taking up window real estate unless you want it to.

It was an intentional pun, I swear :mrgreen:
