Listview should be improved

#1 Post by Ike » 12.09.2019, 10:05

When you set a tab to Listview ("display items as a list, Ctrl-F1), the files and folder are displayed in columns. There is a problem with the way this is implemented. The column-width is set to the widest item in the directory. If you have a directory with a large number of subdirectories and files, mostly short names, but only 1 long name, all columns are displayed very wide because of that 1 long filename somewhere in the directory. This leads to a lot of wasted screenspace. What would be much better is that each column is set to the widest item only in that column. If you look aty Windows Explorer - List View, you see that it's impolemented this way.

Oh, btw:

I've set my panel layout to top/bottom (split horizontal) instead of left/right, so when in List view I have a larger number of columns with reasonbly few items per column
