This is definitely a minor issue,
but it would be a nice little convenience,
and (I suspect) very quick to program.

Description :
all the time I use dual panes, classic left and right,
sometimes - for one reason or another - I move the middle slider
to make one pane larger or smaller;
but when I am done with that particular task
there is no easy way to restore the settings
where both panes are of equal width.
I have to use a screen ruler to make them equal.

Suggestion :
In the XYplorer menu, under Panes,
add an entry "Make panes equal size".

Thanks !

Just use a simple script?

Code: Select all

    $halfWidth = round((getkey("Pane1Width", "Layout") + getkey("Pane2Width", "Layout")) * 0.5, 0);

    if(get("pane") == 1) {
        focus "P2"; setlayout("Pane1Width=$halfWidth, Pane2Width=$halfWidth");
    } else {
        focus "P1"; setlayout("Pane1Width=$halfWidth, Pane2Width=$halfWidth");
    }

Double-click the splitter between the panes.

A button is easier to click than the splitter line on high-res monitors

Yep, this feature is "fine motor skills required".
