Hi Hannes,

there are grips to change size manually:


I think it is too big for a dialog. At the moment, the implementation falls back to Model >> #initialExtent, which does already consider the current screen real-estate.

Also, there seems to be something odd with the list of files' width. It's too wide.

A horizontal scrollbar in the directory tree might also help. :-)

Best,
Marcel

Maybe a larger default width for the directory display?
As a preference? Or dependant on the screen size?
