Resize Lister Without Changing File Display Width

Hi all, is there a way to resize or enlarge the Lister window with the Viewpane open so that only the width of the Viewpane increases while keeping the width of the File Display tab unchanged? I want just the Viewpane to be larger for better visibility.

Move the slider between the file display and the view pane.

I think the only options are:

  • Manual adjustment after resizing the window.
  • A saved layout or style that resizes things in a particular way.
  • A command or script that resizes things in a particular way.

Normally, resizing will share the extra space between all elements, not only give it to one element.

Actually, I have an idea regarding the use of the onlisteneresize event response function. The goal is to retrieve the file display UI's width during a resizing event. If an API can be created to both retrieve and set this width dynamically, it would make this approach feasible.

To justify this request, consider the following scenario: Sometimes, users may want to widen the preview pane (e.g., to better view a PDF file) but still prefer the file display width to remain as compact as possible. This approach would optimize screen space usage, especially when multitasking with overlapping application windows.
Thanks!
