Description Andrey Korolev 2012-11-27 23:52:01 UTC 
As the summary says Open Files dialog as well as related dialogs should have an option to fix the column width in the short view mode.  Currently if you have a directory with a mix of short and long dir/file names the dialog looks ugly as the column width can vary drastically. The column width inconsistency also can cause little embarrassments while browsing a long list of dirs/files with different name length. 

A good way is how this is implemented in Dolphin (see Settings->Configure Dolphin->View Modes->Compact->Maximum width)
