gtk_tree_view_column_set_resized_width (2.29 KB, patch)
2007-10-31 00:58 UTC, Thomas Rydzynski 		none Details | Review

Description Kevin Vandersloot 2001-12-13 19:30:44 UTC 
This interferes with apps wanting to restore column widths on startup. I
think it would be desirable in "resizable" mode for the treeview to not
attempt to set the column widths except for initialy guessing a reasonable
size based on the column header text. Then if the developer wants a best
fit later on he/she can call gtk_tree_view_autosize.

This would require changing the way that the columns work.  Won't
happen for 2.0 -- will rethink it for 2.2.
Comment 2 Kristian Rietveld 2002-05-02 19:40:58 UTC 
Reassigning bugs to new component owner. Sorry for the flood.
Comment 3 Matthias Clasen 2004-03-04 12:15:41 UTC 
Since the rethinking apparently hasn't happened yet...
Comment 4 Thomas Rydzynski 2007-10-31 00:57:55 UTC 
I've wrote a patch that addresses this problem.

gtk_tree_view_set_resized_width may not be a good name but does just that - it sets columns width as if user has resized it.

Jonathan? Any thoughts on this?
Comment 7 Kristian Rietveld 2008-06-03 15:44:10 UTC 
IMHO not going to happen in 2.x, will probably rethink the column stuff somewhere in 3.x.
