The Application / Window Profiles window needs to have adjustable width - and an indicator of truncated Descriptions

I would like to point out, that the window that lists Profiles has a fixed width - and thus when the Description of a Profile is very long it gets truncated. On top of that X-Mouse Button Control does not signal to a user that something like this is occurring - as there is no indication of it by [for example] displaying at the far right [i.e. near the edge of this window] something like

Code: Select all

(...)
And thus if this window were made adjustable in width and also a marker of truncated names was added, every user could decide what to see


I am using X-Mouse Button Control 2.19.2 Portable on Windows 10 Enterprise 20H2 19042.746 x64 with changed size of apps and text to 150%

Such indicator is already present in X-MBC : a user sees

Code: Select all

...
on the far right when a written A Description (to show in button drop-down) exceeds the width available for drop-downs menus


So I suppose this rule would only need to by applied also to the Description of a Profile and not created from scratch

Added the ... in beta 11. Making the window resizable is a huge effort and not going to happen any time soon for reasons already mentioned.
The full description/name is also visible in the lower right panel once selected (unless its really really long)
