Folder view driving me crazy

Post by El_Ingeniero »

Hi,

Has anyone got any tips to help me with something that is doing my head in?

I only need a simple folder view system for Xplorer2 - basically, "List" view for all folders.

The problem is that List view "cuts" the names of my files (they are pretty long) and every time I have to View>Details, stretch the column to see it and then back to View>List.

That works, but when I close & reopen, the files are back to having their names cut!!!

The only way I've found is leave it in 'Details', but  I need the space to see all files are once :cry:

I do Actions>Folder>Save Settings and I have marked as well the "Save state of programme on exit"... and I don't know what to do anymore!

I have 1.7.1.4

Thanks,

E.I.

Have you set "Max list column width" value to anything other than 0 in Options > Window tab?

Does clicking on the arrow button next to the address bar makes full name appear in the list view?

thanks for your reply!

I have set it to 1000 and it works but closing > opening same problem

However, yes! clicking on the arrow / refresh brings everything out!

I suppose I can simply refresh, once I've done it stays fine (until I close)

Thanks!

This is a known bug. I see the same behavior on my work machine but not on my home machine. Others folks in the forum have reported this issue before

Nikos, do you plan on fixing this bug? If you have trouble repro'ing this issue, then I can help running the debug binaries on my machine.
