Set specific column to gain maximum available width?

Post by Valery_Kondakoff »

Hi!

Please, can you tell me: if there is some option which allow me to specify the column in 'Details mode' to gain the maximum available width when the overal size of the window changes?

For example, after maximizing Xplorer2 window, all columns stay at their normal width except one, which gains all the free space? This column may be for example a 'Name' or 'Comment' column...

Thank you!

Currently there is no such option :(

But I think that's a good idea as long as the frame width has free space. :)
Maybe nikos will put it on the todo list.  

Note that when there's not enough width (often the case for me) there needs to be a minimum width setting, after which the horiz scrollbar is needed to view all the columns selected for the view.  This complicates the potential implementation.

Until then, it's simple to drag the r.h. edge of the column name field to the width you want -- or d-click on it to auto-set width to the minimum for displaying the longest entry in the column.
