Hey, whenever I try to add parents / link cards to my edit card via the universal coupler Pop-up window, I’m kind of frustrated with the small, not resizable window.
On MacOS, there is somehow a scroll bar in the Title or, with ‘long’ card titles, I can’t see the complete Title, making it hard to select the correct Card I’m actually looking for.
Is there a specific reason why it is so small?
I’d love it if the window could be bigger and show more context of the card so I can actually link the one I’m looking for without trial and error.
I can’t upvote this enough. It is actually very limiting and frustrating, and I see the same issue happening with the new [[ and >> functionality, the window is soo tiny compared to even the width of the card that you are working on…
The only function for which this popup size is sufficient is the inline tagging with #, because those are usually single word line items that you can easily review and choose from
I will also link a relevant thought that I also had a while back in Sizing troubles.
As a desktop user 99% of the time, my experience hasn’t changed, I find the UI components to be too small to maximize my productivity to the full power of the app. Case in point, the search only shows 3 results, even though I have the screen real estate to easily double in both X and Y directions, this also makes search refinement much harder, because the content that you need to recall exact search terms is outside of the scroll fold.
I would love to hear your opinion on this.
Whats the reason for the small dynamic coupler window on desktop versions?
I think it would be really interesting if we had the option to make it resizable, or make it take up more horizontal space, as it really is kind of limiting without an apparent reason. I get that it can’t be bigger on mobile, but should the mobile version restrict the usability of the desktop version?
We’ve had an internal discussion about this recently, Tobias and Connor are both aware of your concerns and have been thinking about ways to improve this. The scrollbar issue in the first post will be fixed in 3.1.4 in the next release.
Regarding the sizing concerns, the difference between mobile and desktop version is that people use the desktop version as a narrow window as well, and we believe this flexibility is a strength that Supernotes offers. The reason for a small Universal Coupler is that it doesn’t obscure the content you’re writing. However, we are aware of your desire to customise this, thus we’re still looking for the best way to improve .
I’m happy this is something that’s already discused

I love the flexibility of Supernotes and I love that I can downsize it into a narrow column on the site of my desktop, but I disagree that the ability to have bigger couple would take away from that. As other components, the couple could resize like the rest of the UI Elements.

The UC does obscure the content on mobile though (yes, there really is not any otherway due to screen limitations) and after a specific screen width, the UC already does obscure the content on desktop too.

I’m happy this is already something being discussed
