Recently, I found myself having to do a lot of renaming jobs. Each directory I worked in had hundreds of files, but when I went to rename them - using regex rename, if it matters (it's so great that you support regex, by the way!), the preview window was way too small, and I couldn't resize it.

Is there any way to resize this window manually by dragging? I didn't know if there was some INI tweak to unlock this or not.

But if not, it would be nice if this could be changed. If you're only renaming a handful of files, it's fine. But any more than that, and it's like being locked into looking through a peephole, instead of a window. (pun not intended)

This was discussed at least once before at http://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=2719

Oops!

Sorry, didn't mean to double post. Reading that other thread, it looks like the feature was put on hold for the time being. I guess I'll just make this another vote to renew it at Don's convenience.

I just happened to vaguely recall seeing that issue before so just wanted to point to it for historical reference...having a new thread after this time seems perfectly reasonable.

You want it higher, not wider, right? After release of 8.00 I will look at this...

I'd like the ability to choose both, by dragging to resize the way you can do with most windows - but yes, it's primarily the height that's the issue.
