Description Mike Kuebler 2012-05-16 15:12:36 UTC

I cannot reposition the Name column to a suitable position.  I would like to have the order Size, Date, Name, similar to a "ls -l".  I can only assume this is a bug since this was always possible previously.  Please note I don't want to eliminate the Name column, just change the order in which is displayed.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Konqueror or Dolphin
2. Try to move Name column to sensible position
3. Does not work



I use Konqueror extensively and often need to know file sizes and timestamps in relation to the filename at a glance.  Having to scan back and forth over a wide white space is extremely annoying and distracting.  Please fix this bug.

Thanks for the bug report! If you can reproduce a file-management related problem in both Konqueror and Dolphin, please report it for Dolphin.

Resetting assignee to default as per bug #305719

It is a limitation of Qt. The first column is fixed at the first position.

https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-33974 offers some workarounds, such as actually starting only at the second column (and hiding the first column), but the real fix should be in Qt.

Comment 4 Nate Graham 2017-11-09 03:07:25 UTC

Agreed. We should wait for a Qt fix rather than try to work around it here.
