Size column width changing with Shift+F5

Post by tomuser »

I'm using Details view and noticed that if I want to see total size of files in subfolders using Shift+F5 then width of this size column also changes. And seems to be depending how many number it needs to write there (= depending on (sub)folders' size). Like it has some hard coded auto-size. Changing between tabs all columns are "jumping" because of that. I actually had bigger width for this column but this "feature" trims it narrower after Shift+F5. Earlier it kept my set width no matter if it had "500" or "5 000 000 000" written in it. I'm not sure from which version it started but surely it wasn't so few versions back. Using XYplorer v19.60.0100, Windows 10 v1809.

Bug or feature?

(Regarding to this it would be nice to have also option to set specific width for columns like we have with line number column)

It was added on purpose, so it's not a bug:

Code: Select all

v19.60.0002 - 2019-01-31 16:22
    * View | Calculate Folder Sizes: Now the Size column is always autosized 
      after the calculation is done and shown.

Oh, so it's a feature then.

In that case next question would be: How to turn off this feature? :D

What about this refinement if the feature: autosize it if necessary (if not wide enough), but don't make it smaller?

It would be better than nothing but I'd still prefer fixed one.

One way you could mitigate this issue (even if the above changes are implemented) is by clearing the default shortcut key in CKS, then via UDC set the same Shift+F5 shortcut to run a script, something like this:

Code: Select all

#487; setcolumns("Size.500", 4);
