How to make Nautilus name column display at the width of the longest filename
- by fred.bear
Prior to a recent glytch where I lost some of my custom settings, Nautilus would open directories and display the name-column wide enough to show the longest filename on display. It did it dynamically; If I renamed a file to a longer or shorter name, the column was automatically adjusted to the new width..
It's not doing that now, and I have no idea how to get this function back..
UPDATE
I hadn't mentioned it, but I am talking about the List view... I have been fossicing around in the GConf Editpr and came across a setting for Compact View which does exactly what I am referring to... but it only effects the Compact View... that setting is:
gconf-editor /apps/nautilus/compact_view/all_columns_have_same_width
...but I can't find the setting for List View... I know the capability exists, because I've been using it until only a few days ago, when my system got hung up...
