    Hi Guys,

    Whenever Battery can't locate files (e.g. when I've moved my project to an external disc prior to going to a proper studio) I get the Battery Missing Samples window.

    Unfortunately, it doesn't resize or scroll, so often there is no way of knowing
    a) the full name of the file(s) that are missing (because the name is longer than the space NI has allowed)
    b) their actual location (because the location is longer than the space NI has allowed)

    This obviously hinders my attempts to track down the files and could easily be remedied by having the missing samples window resizable or the listing scalable. This problem seems to exist with many, many NI dialogue windows for finding libraries, samples etc and is powerfully irritating and time wasting.

    And while I love the fact that the Search Spotlight button almost always does the trick, it doesn't leave me any the wiser as to WHERE THE SAMPLES ACTUALLY ARE, so I can resolve the issue and package my Battery drum sets appropriately.
