Name Column Min Size - How?

Upgrade* from a very old build of XY is leaving me with a constant problem I'm finding hard to tame:
with autosize columns off, often XY draws the NAME column with a low pixel width, making it hard to read file names.
Is there something I could do, like ColumnWidthMin, restricted to the Names column?

open all pane.inis and change `+Name.<length>` in the columns key of [ListBrowse],[ListFind] etc sections to a better length, say `+Name.256` [maybe also update column length saved as tabstyles under the [Tabs] section)
if pane.ini's don;t have the Columns key, find those [List..] sections in <xyini>.

There is also Options >> Colors & Styles >> Styles, "Autosize...." near the bottom.
I'm not sure if it applies to this question though...

Autosize does apply, kunkel, but not in the sense of my question.
I'd like to have a way to control a minimum value for Names column as currently there's a way to set a max value for it.
A minimum visibility should be easily granted, here...
Thanks, Sammay. I guess I'll go for a scripted solution, then... too hacky for manual adjustments on every XY installment I may come across.
