Hello!

One thing that I miss in DC that exist in an another similar product (no names mentioned) is "Adjust Columns to window width". Is it possible to implement that feature in DC?

I usually rotate my screen 90° depending on what I'm doing, and most of the columns in DC are then not visible when the resolution is switched and DC is scaled down to fit the desktop size.

best regards

Do you mean columns widths should be resized so that all text in each column is visible? Or they should be resized to that all columns are visible with possible obscured text in them?

Yes, I think it's better to resize the columns so that all columns fits in the width of the panel.

For instance: It would be nice to have a "Name-column" that uses 60% of the panel width. After that a "Ext-column" that uses 20% followed by a third ("Size-column") that uses 20%. This makes all columns visible even if a user resize DC.

In order to make the implementation easier, it would be nice to have a checkbox (with, for instance, the label: "Adjust columns to window width") that converts the input (which is in pixels I guess) to a relative percentage instead. Of course, the best solution would be to let the user decide for each column, if it should be of fixed width or variable width. But I can only assume it's more difficult and more time consuming to implement.
