At the moment, we have two modes: A) All columns have the same width, text is ellipsized B) Variable column width, text is not ellipsized In the original implementation I posted on my web blog, lots of people commented. Some wanted ellipsization (some not), some wanted a variable column (some not). I concluded that we have two user fractions: Those who want to have a pretty GUI with a regular layout (A), and those who want to see all the information available at once (B). If you disagree, feel free to propose another policy. bes regards, Christian -- Christian Neumair <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- nautilus-list mailing list nautilus-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/nautilus-list
