Resize the copy dialog (window)

Please allow the copy/move/etc. windows to be resized (width only): it would be very useful to make those windows wider, since the long directories are truncated with ellipses (...).
Although the resize cursor appears on the left/right side of the dialog, the window cannot be sized.

It does not here (testet under Windows 7 and 10 with 32- and 64bit TC 9.51 RC6).

But otherwise I support the request.

I second this request.

So many times I am missing context of where in the process I am, when I can only see the start and end of long paths.

(especially since the additional information shown since tc11 consumes more space and lets the dialog appear very crowded)

I think it was at the transition from Tc9.5 to Tc10 (or was it at the transition from Tc10 to Tc10.50), at least in connection with the introduction of Darkmode, that all the controls in dialogs and panels were rearranged. It should now be a simple intervention to make the width of the copy dialog changeable. ;-)

In the times of long path names: We need more information about what we are copying in the moment...

Again: support++

Support++, if implemented please save resized width on Wincmd.ini to make new size permanent, thanks

Everyone who really needed it has long since changed this and other dialogues through ModifyDialogs.

Incidentally, it would also be enough for me if a tooltip with the long name appeared when the mouse moved over it, especially in the small copy/move dialogs in the background. In Windows 11 this is no longer possible in the taskbar.

It could be fully resizeable, including height (with some minimum of course). The new graph can be the part that would change. I'm pretty sure that some wouldn't mind to have it slightly higher and this way we could avoid discussion about what height is the right one, everyone could choose their own.
