Show array resize info in elements, not pixels.

[Justin Goeres]

I wish LabVIEW would show the little (current size) popup in terms of elements in addition to pixels when resizing an array on the front panel or block diagram. The fact is that when I'm resizing an array I almost never care what size it is in pixels, especially given that the pixel size is constrained to a set of values relative to the sizes of the array elements anyway. I frequently care how many elements will be displayed.

E.g. (449,29 / 21 elements)

Yes that would be handy.

The work-around I use is to first set the index to size-1, set the array element, set index =0, and then re-size.

Your suggestion would eliminate those steps.
