Request: Number of lines to display (per entry)

I'd love to see an option that controls the number of lines to display for each entry. It looks like the current default is three, but I'd like my list to appear more compact, so being able to limit each entry to one or two lines would be nice. Thanks for your consideration.

First off, thank you so much for the work you put into v2.0+! This app just keeps getting better and better: an absolutely must-have for me! I just installed the latest version and I do prefer the two lines of text, so thanks so much for that. Having said that, I still find the vertical spacing a bit much. I really wanted to do a mockup for you, but I'm unable to get a screen capture of ClipBook (which I'm sure is by design 😉). From a UI/UX perspective, it looks beautiful, because all entries are the same height, regardless if they're short one-line entries, or entries that have two or more lines (truncated by an ellipses). However, I'd love to see an option(s) for: 1. Control the number of lines (e.g., 1–3 lines, where "1" would be very compact), and/or 2. Some type of "Compact Mode", which would eliminate the padding for single-line entries (even though this would obviously make one- and two-line entries occupy different amounts of vertical real estate. As beautiful as the current design is, I *think* I'd prefer a more compact layout. Again, thanks so much for your continued work, and attention to detail, for this indispensable application!

This is exactly what I was thinking of. I agree that it's hard to scan the history vertically when the items have different height. So in 2.3.0 I made the list more compact and show maximum 2 lines of text and reduce the line height for other types to be the same. Please try version 2.3.0 and let me know what do you think.
