Hello,

I switched to list mode as default view in nautilus, as more info is
provided there. Now whenever I open a folder, all columns are big
enough/to big to hold their info - just the name column is so small,
that I don't get a clue which name might me displayed.

When I resize the column I would have expected nautilus to save the
column size, but it's always discared, which would be ok, if the
original sizing would be sensible...

Thanks in advance

Matthias

This behavior was changed between 2.16 and 2.18 because formerly,
nautilus would set the column width to that of the longest filename,
which was very unfriendly towards too long filenames. In 2.18, the
window is always opened without a horizontal scrollbar and the filenames
are cut. This means, you only have to resize your window (or remove
columns you don't use) to get the width you want.

The remaining problem is that, while the window size is remembered, the
columns widths are not. Which is not nice for those like you who like to
have a horizontal scrollbar in the list view.

Cheers,

I have uploaded nautilus 2.18.1-3 which adds a minimum size for the name
column. Do you find this an improvement and do you have more
suggestions, especially about the minimum size value (currently 16
characters)?
