Howdy - just mullin' over a possible change to sigil....

I wasn't able to find a way to set the PV window to a specific size. Yes, I could drag the corners/sides, but I couldn't tell the exact size of the window in pixels.

It would be nice to set that window to my target device display size (eg iphone 7+: 1080 x 1920 pixels) so that I can get a better feel for how the book will flow.

Ideally there would be an area in preferences where I could select the default size of the window from a list of common devices, or set a custom size... it would default to that size when un-docking from the main sigil window, or when the PV view is first selected.

If that is not feasible, is it possible to include the window size in the header or status bar so I can drag it to the proper dimensions?

Thanks!
