AUTOSIZECOLUMNS doesn't always work

Help & Support

I've set all column widths to "auto" and added a max setting of "fill" to the "name" column (in leftmost position). This works as expected and very long filenames are partially hidden.

I've got a command Set AUTOSIZECOLUMNS=col:name,override to make the complete filenames visible, moving everything else to the right. This doesn't work.
BUT
If I first manually change the name column's width by a few pixels (in either direction) and then use the above command, it suddenly works as expected.

That's not right, is it? :thinking:

(I'm on the latest beta 13.18.5.)

My workaround for the command:

Set COLUMNSADD name(!0,100)
Set AUTOSIZECOLUMNS=col:name,override

Ugly, but it works... :wink:

@if:$tab:CNA
@set tab:CNA
Set COLUMNSADD name(!0,100)
Set AUTOSIZECOLUMNS=col:name,override
@if:else
Set AUTOSIZECOLUMNS=col:name
@set tab:CNA=on

Would the Devs care to comment on why Set AUTOSIZECOLUMNS=col:name,override appears not behave as documented?

In the next beta, that command will also clear the column's fill/collapse mode/maximum.
