[Feature Request] Setting for auto-sizing column widths of results

[zonetrooperex]

Please consider adding a checkbox setting under "General > Results":

• Automatically size all columns to fit

Keep up the great work!

Thank you for the suggestion zonetrooperex,

I will consider a UI option to automatically size columns to fit the window.


There is a hidden ini setting auto_column_widths to do this already.

To enable automatic column width resizing:

• In Everything, type in the following search and press ENTER:
  /auto_column_widths=1
• If successful, you should see auto_column_widths=1 in the status bar for a few seconds.

-or-

Hold down Ctrl while resizing the Everything window to auto size your columns.

-or-

Press Ctrl + Shift + Numpad+

Hmm.. that doesn't quite do what I'm thinking of.

I'd like it to size the columns to the text contents itself, not the size of the window.

Also not onWindowResize but onResultsRefresh.


ON RESULTS REFRESH
FOREACH column
SET column_width EQUAL TO (column_result_text_max_characters + padding)
END


OR

ON RESULTS REFRESH
"Size All Columns to Fit" (existing function)

[void]

Please try Alt + 4

This will resize your columns and the Everything Window to fit.

I will consider an option to do this automatically when the results change.

Yes please! I would love this feature as well. I use window autosize, but I'm still constantly having to resize columns to see everything (no pun intended), most often the path column, sometimes the name column as well.

Even more amazing -- not sure if this would even be possible -- would be if user-definable columns could be chosen for auto-sizing (including with window size changes). Sometimes I need to see the full length of the name/path column while not necessarily needing to see the full name/path column. It just depends what I'm working on as to which I prioritize having to see the full width of name, path, other times both of them together.

But even just a general column-autosize feature would be fantastic!
