Console window resizable?
I notice that Serviio console window is created as resizable (under Windows at least). However, the content inside the windows does not resize with the window itself. For example, Status, Library and Presentation tabs contain lists, which are (or can potentially be) rather long. It is perfectly logical to expect these lists to resize together with the main window. But surprisingly they don't (???). Why?
When one resizes the window, it simply adds vast empty fields on the right and/or on the bottom, while almost all original controls remain cluttered in the top-left corner. Some controls in some tabs are actually aligned to the right ("Number of items..." field in Presentation tab), so they follow the right edge of the window when it is resized, but the choice of such controls seems to be rather random. It looks more like an accident instead of a conscious choice.
This raises the question: what was the point of making the main Serviio console window resizable, if it doesn't really resize anything that matters? Anyway, as a feature request, I would like to request functional resizing of the main Serviio console window. I.e. the "primary" field in each tab should stretch with the main console window.
