Yeah, I hate how that window is not resizable. Lame.

I agree. For the warnings Xcode does have in its GUI, they are very
discoverable, much more so than CW.

I agree there are too many to expose them all in the GUI. There is
definitely such a thing as too many options. I would be happy if Xcode
reached the point where any warnings not available in the GUI could be
put in _one_ place: Other Warning Flags. But it's not quite there yet.

Thanks for this workaround.
