OMEdit: preserve User's GUI customization - some elements are missing

Description (last modified by )
The option "Preserve Users GUI customization" is quite handy. However, I observed that
- width of the Libraries Browser
- width of the Recent Files
- height of the Messages Browser
- width of the Duplicate Dialog
are not covered by that feature. Especially saving the width of the Libraries Browser would help a lot, as the default width is (on my system) always too small.

- height of the Messages Browser
This is preserved. See the attached video.
- width of the Recent Files
This is not preserved. Do you really care about it?
- width of the Duplicate Dialog
Why in this world you need to preserve the width of this dialog? We can give it some suitable minimum width if it is too small.

It is true that since 1 week or so the width of the Libraries Browser and the height of the Messages Browser are preserved. When I created that ticket I used the nightly build of that time and it was not preserved.
width of the Recent Files
This is not preserved. Do you really care about it?
Well, this is a minor issue. I use the welcome page/recent files a lot to reload my library. And my path names are really long...
We can give it some suitable minimum width if it is too small.
Yes absolutely!
I thought, that giving (fixed) minimum sizes is not good practice and all issues related to sizing are covered by the "preserve User's GUI customization"-mechanism.

In general yes but setting a minimum width of 400 on top level dialog is fine. 1a18b3b/OMEdit.

Well not everything. We explicitly have to save them if we want to preserve.
So shall we close this ticket now?

Well, this is a minor issue. I use the welcome page/recent files a lot to reload my library. And my path names are really long...
To perfectly fix that ticket, remembering the separation position of RecentFiles/LatestNews is highly appreciated. :)

Done in bf8c59d/OMEdit.
Currently, for me, this is one of the most annoying issues. Is it possible to fix that issue with relatively low effort? Thanks in advance!
