[Viewing] Minimum displayed text lines (#209)
Posted: Sat Jun 20, 2009 11:11 am
At the moment CN has a setting for a maximum number of displayed lines and at the same time it shows less lines for notes where the number of lines is < than the number of maximum lines.
On the other hand I was thinking from a lot of time that some data sets might benefit from a fixed number of displayed lines in the list, and some users might find it more polished or better from a usability point of view. But I didn't find till now a way to make a suggestion that could live together with the actual settings, with the other suggestions and that would not require a lot of work from Alex...
Now the idea came, if we introduce a "Minimum displayed text lines" we would have the flexibility to accomodate both desires
So some examples, with semirandom numbers:
Minimum set to 0, maximum set to 0 we only see titles
Minimum set to 0, maximum set to 15, a bit like it is now
Minimum set to 5, maximum set to 15, it would be different and possible only with the new settings
Minimum set to 10, maximum set to 10, or anyway minimum = maximum, here's the setting for the fixed number of lines I was after
