Description Javier G. 2009-06-14 18:11:43 UTC

Version:            (using Devel)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled sources

Always that I open a Open file dialog or a save file dialog the width of each column is changed. For example when a file name is very log the "name" column is changed by the width of the most long name, hiding me my size and date columns, is very annoying because forces me to change or move the view until I get any of those columns.

And randomly, the image/video preview of the right part of the dialog sometimes takes his own width...

Comment 1 Javier G. 2009-06-14 18:13:10 UTC

I'm using:
Qt: 4.5.1
KDE: 4.2.91 (KDE 4.2.91 (KDE 4.3 >= 20090609))
kde4-config: 1.0

But I can't remember if this happened since always in KDE4.

Comment 2 Michael D 2014-04-22 09:05:30 UTC

This is still a bug in KDE 4.13. Would be nice to if someone dealt with this small but annoying bug.

Comment 3 Michael D 2015-03-26 08:12:39 UTC

This is still a bug in Frameworks 5! I was hoping it would be squashed in KF5. The last annoying bug lives on!

Comment 4 Michael D 2018-04-09 21:46:10 UTC

A duplicate of this bug is bug 354388, but I haven't marked it as such since it seems to me to be more helpful and easier to find than this one.

Comment 5 Nate Graham 2018-04-09 21:48:58 UTC

Not to worry, there's a patch that will fix it, so soon you won't need to find this bug report anymore! https://phabricator.kde.org/D11993

Comment 6 Michael D 2018-04-09 23:35:17 UTC

Fantastic! Thanks to everyone to squashed this!

Comment 7 Michael D 2018-04-09 23:37:16 UTC

*** Bug 354388 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Comment 8 Nate Graham 2018-04-10 17:33:52 UTC

Well it's not squashed yet, but hopefully soon!

Tweak column widths in tree view of file open/save dialogs

Summary:
Adjust column sizing options so that "last" column is no longer the largest.
First column (folder/file name & icon) will now occupy the majority of the space but does not compress other columns.
Related: bug 354388, bug 338502, bug 177743, bug 96638
FIXED-IN: 5.46

Test Plan:
- Compile KIO with patch
- Recompile an application (i.e. Kate), ensuring it will include the patched version of KIO
- File -> Open (and/or File -> Save); select Detailed Tree View option
- Check that Name column is the widest and occupies most of the space
