[wishlist] banshee should have an 'auto size' option for column headers

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/banshee/+bug/364527 Binary package hint: banshee It would be useful if banshee provided an auto-size option for columns, similar to iTunes. In iTunes you can auto-size a single column by right-clicking on the individual column header and choosing "Auto Size Column", which increases the width of that column until the longest line can be read. Alternatively you can choose "Auto Size All Columns", which resizes all of the columns to a 'best fit' size for all data currently being displayed. ProblemType: Bug Architecture: i386 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 9.04 Package: banshee 1.4.3-3ubuntu2 ProcEnviron: SHELL=/bin/bash PATH=(custom, user) LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 SourcePackage: banshee Uname: Linux 2.6.28-11-generic i686
Added lots of fields (Grouping, comments...) and then could not resize any column width at all. It looks like all the columns have to fit in the window. It would be much better if every column width could be set by the user, even if it does not fit in the window. Columns autosize is sometimes not very convenient for very long titles, band name. Thank you. Architecture: i386 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 8.04.02 Package: banshee 1.4.3-3
This bug and Bug 536660 seem to be requesting the same feature: auto resizing the columns. 536660 asks to do this by double clicking on the bar between column headers, and this bug wants it in a right click menu. Are they similar enough to be considered duplicates? (In reply to comment #1) > Added lots of fields (Grouping, comments...) and then could not resize any > column width at all.

I agree that resizing columns in Banshee is still a frustrating experience. If I'm not mistaken, Nautilus used to behave the same way until fairly recently. I know that Banshee uses a custom widget for this sort of thing, but I doubt auto-sizing is possible unless Banshee's columns start working more like those in Nautilus.
