GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 45110
list column maximums are too small, minimums are too large

Perhaps this is just my personal tastes, but I don't think the columns in View as List need maximum widths. Currently it is possible (and, for me at least, occurs somewhat often) for filenames to be far longer than the maximum width of the file name column. This is a little inconvenient, and in some cases (say a collection of music files that begin with album name, artist, etc.) can be downright irritating. Just a thought. ------- Additional Comments From don@eazel.com 2000-12-15 09:32:11 ---- Batch move all 254 PR3 P5 bugs to 1.0.1. ------- Additional Comments From sodorp@hotmail.com 2001-02-24 14:55:08 ---- *** Bug 46782 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** ------- Additional Comments From eli@eazel.com 2001-03-25 08:25:57 ---- *** Bug 47874 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** ------- Additional Comments From darin@bentspoon.com 2001-03-26 09:25:21 ---- Bug 47806 repeats the complaint about maximums and also complains about minimums. ------- Additional Comments From eli@eazel.com 2001-03-26 11:11:42 ---- QA Assigning to self. ------- Additional Comments From snickell@stanford.edu 2001-07-23 00:37:42 ---- Taking bugs previously assigned to Pavel, assigning them to myself.

Created attachment 6188 [details] [review] Proposed Patch (Removes maximums, new minimums)
I attached a patch, which is included on head now. It removes the maximums on all columns except the fixed icons column. It also sets all minimums to 20. If you minimize the columns too much, you don't get any useful information out of them anymore (20 is too small already to be useful). What you really want then is the ability to hide columns. This kind of covered in Bug 40140. Should this bug considered fixed?
fixed all columns have infinite size in list view, or so it appears.
