Description Nicolò Chieffo 2010-06-27 12:45:05 UTC 
When right clicking on the column headers (Name, Size, Type, ...) it could be great to have a small popup with checkboxes, to select which columns to show/hide.
Comment 1 Allan Day 2010-06-28 11:21:01 UTC 
Agreed. This is the intuitive way to do it. Banshee and Evolution has this. Strangely, Rhythmbox doesn't.
Comment 2 Adam Dingle 2013-04-11 14:19:59 UTC 
I agree this would be nice.  System Monitor has this too, by the way.

Bug 622941 - Show column chooser when header is right clicked

Should I also add a "Use Default" item to the menu?

Review of attachment 248983 [details] [review]:

Yeah, I think having "Use Default" there would be useful and consistent with the column chooser dialog.

Please use GDK_BUTTON_SECONDARY here.
