Description Uwe Hermann 2013-04-27 19:47:41 CEST
The About dialog displays a list of supported drivers from libsigrok and their description. The driver name (left entry in the "table") is too long though in some cases and gets clipped. The fix is probably to make the left column a bit wider.

Maybe the list should be removed altogether. It doesn't really serve a purpose. The DSLogic guys don't have it- their dialog just has a big logo, and it looks much cleaner.

I don't know what changed or when, but the driver names no longer get clipped. A few of the longest ones wrap onto a new line, but are fully legible.

Reopening, this was probably bad wording on my side. I didn't mean literal "clipping" in the strict sense, but rather the line-wrapping that should be fixed (actual clipping would be even worse, of course).

It's fine to have the second column wrap (that's quite a bit longer in some cases and with the current window size will sometimes wrap), but the first column (driver/PD name) should not wrap, IHMO. It just looks very ugly and unreadable. Fixing that shouldn't be too much of a hassle code-wise, I hope.

Perfect, thanks!
