Expan log section instead of processes with a bigger window

[domenkozar]

Currently if you make the window bigger with TUI, it will expand the process list even when there are no more processes.

Instead it could detect how many processes are and start extending logs section when all processes are shown.

Hey @domenkozar,

Sounds like a good idea.
The processes portion will have to be dynamic since the user can change the amount of running processes, on the fly.
Maybe instead of doing it automatically, it will be better to introduce a shortcut to control the split location. What do you think?

Automatic layouting would be preferred IMO. Should be simple to follow when the list of processes expand.

Otherwise, in Doom Emacs the keybinding to increase/decrease the currently focused "pane" height is C-w +/- respectively.

[domenkozar]

If automaticaly layout can be implemented, then I think no user action is needed, which is what I'd prefer :)

[F1bonacc1]

Should the automatic layout grow above 50%?
What do you think should be the max % if yes?
What should be the min %?

It can also be expressed as # of processes.

[domenkozar]

I'd say that the max for the process pane is # processes + 1.

[F1bonacc1]

There are many situations where the # processes is higher than what is visible in a single screen.

[thenonameguy]

Min = line-height * (total process count + 1 (padding))
Max = 50% sounds like a good starting point, for my use-cases if I'm in split view, I care mainly about the currently selected process logs, so scrolling the process list is okay.
If I want a holistic view of all processes I would fullscreen that pane.

There are many situations where the # processes is higher than what is visible in a single screen.

Example from #133 (emphasis mine):

I love the feature introduced in #123. However, in one of the projects I use process-compose, there are around 200 processes.

Thanks (as always) @thenonameguy
Can I rephrase it as:

• Min - 2 processes
• Auto - line-height * (total process count + 1 (padding))
• Max - 50% screen size
