Make chat/folder sidebar horizontally sizeable

Please make the left sidebar with chats and folders horizontally sizable. Most of my chat titles are abbreviated.

I would like to see an option for a) standard/fixed sizing (as it is now) with a default width one can change, and b) a separate option (checkbox) to allow horizontal sizing by dragging the window border to the left or right.

    I need this too. Currently it’s to narrow, it cuts off all chat titles.

    Yes, please let us increase the width of the sidebar. Sometimes need to go through existing chats for more details and need to see more content.

    I have made several posts about this, latest one https://typingmind.canny.io/feature-requests/p/add-wide-option-to-sidebar-style-menu

    Tony Dinh, is this likely to be implemented any time soon? It seems like a fairly standard and important, albeit basic, feature for any macOS app that has a sidebar. In my experience, it's currently the #1 thing greatly impacting the usability of TypingMind. Seeing only ~25 characters for the titles of my past chats makes many of them impossible to identify from the title. I have to individually click on them to find what I'm click for.

    Thanks for your work on this.

      Tony Dinh can we please also get the option to load typingmind with sidebar collapsed (without flickering)

      Hi, Is there any update on this? It’s been almost 2 years since this was marked as planned. It’s so frustrating that chat titles are cut off. Thanks :)
