Not sure if this needs a docs update or not, but now the sidebar can be resized.

Sprint: Iteration Kampala

 Description   

 

While the Compass sidebar may be collapsed and expanded in the current release, the ability to resize the database and collection view/tree (sidebar) on the left-hand column would allow fine-grained use of space on the screen.

Hi, just came back from MongoDB.local and thought I have to give Compass another try, since many cool new features have been build-in now.

BUT, I don’t get it, the main problem I had before is still there and its sooo simple to change and I do not even understand how anybody can life with it.

The visibility of the collection names in the navigation bar to the left is not resizeable or at least scrollable.

If you have collections starting with the same prefix you actually cannot see the important right part of the name. Why, what ?? ALL other MongoDB Clients I have been using are able to size up their left navigation bar. Only Compass is not able to do that. This simple missing “feature” – is it really a feature, I would call it common sense – makes Compass for us unusable. What a pity.

E.g. for some collections.

companyname.factory.side.name1

companyname.factory.side.name2

companyname.factory.side.name3

companyname.factory.side.name4

companyname.factory.side.name5

In Compass you only see

companyname.factory.sid

companyname.factory.sid

companyname.factory.sid

companyname.factory.sid

companyname.factory.sid

Without words.

brian.blevins - Gotcha. Thanks for the clarification. I need to catchup with Max (Compass Product Manager) to see what we can do here.
