I’ve prepared version 0.1.20 and am looking forward to user testing.

Not sure about the horizontal resizing. The minimum window width seems the same as 0.1.19, ditto for the minimum vertical window height. The boxes don't seem to have changed size but then they fitted the text before so not an unexpected result. OTOH, since I didn't see an issue with cropping before, likely not the best person to test this.

The first attached image is the default with the minimum horizontal size which the window seems to open to, the second is the smallest vertical and horizontal size and the third stretched enough to give all the options vertically and a rather long file path horizontally.

The displays are 3840x2160 scaled to 175% but changing the scaling from 100% to 250% did not seem to make a noticeable difference.

One question is if the resize could be made sticky.

Edit: Not exactly sticky but if I edited plugin.py to change the default self.resize to (675, 700), it worked for me.

class EnvVarDialog(QtWidgets.QDialog):
    def __init__(self, env_vars, existing, plugin_version, bk):
        super().__init__()
        self.setWindowTitle("Sigil Environment Variables" + " " + plugin_version + showbeta())
        self.resize(675, 700)
        self.setMinimumSize(675, 210)
        #self.setMaximumSize(1200, 800)

I think the problem occurred in Linux distributions with more unusual themes, which, for example, forced an additional inner margin in elements.

As for the default height increase – I agree. Originally, that default size was perfect, but then I added new entries, and now it really is worth increasing it.

P.S. In the past, I always kept in mind never to go overboard with that default size, because people have small monitors – let’s say 800x600px – but today I think I can let that go.
