Original description:

The current minimum sidebar width is quite large when working on a smaller
display. It would be great if I could set it to something thinner, maybe more
like 160px?

I agree with this, but I want the ability to completely hide the sidepane even
more than this.

the same way I can press F9 key to make the sidepane disappear/appear in
Nautilus. This would be valuable feature in Shotwell as well.

I'll review since I know Lucas is busy with another project today.
Unfortunately this approach won't work since the SIDEBAR_MIN_WIDTH constant
sets not only the sidebar's minimum width, but also its initial width when the
user first runs Shotwell. With this change, the sidebar on a new Shotwell
install is too narrow to see all dates when events are expanded.

The right way to fix this is to modify the layout code so that the sidebar's
default width is different from its minimum width.

I don't think it's worth addressing this for 0.13 at this point.

Is this perhaps worth another look? It should be possible to set the sidebar
to a smaller width (and all event or tag names should ideally overflow with
"..." at the end or the font should be horizontally compressed, so that no
horizontal scroll bar appears.

One thing that should be noted (it wasn't true when the patch was reviewed) is
that the sidebar can now be hidden with View -> Sidebar (F9).
