Package:           konqueror
Version:           3.0.0 (using KDE 3.0.0 )
Severity:          wishlist
Installed from:    compiled sources
Compiler:          gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Mandrake Linux 8.2 2.96-0.76mdk)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.4.18
OS/Compiler notes: 

This concerns konqueror's file browser interface. I was wondering if you would consider adding an optional lock for the column width sizes. In most cases this isn't a problem however when a directory is displayed that contains exceptionally long file names (i.e. mp3 files) then the view gets really screwed up. The only visible column is the filename and all others are pushed far to the right making it extremely difficult to sort etc. 

If it were possible to define at least a filename clipping feature then that would be fine. Something that at least would allow you to limit filenames to 'n' characters in the window. After that it would put a "..." or something.

This wish is also good for speedup a directory listing.
Now Konqueror is checking every filename for length in pixels
to set the width.
Also the date/time/owner etc. is changing this way and could be set to a fixed 
widths
