[Feature Request] enable to adjust column width when meet long filename or path #5

Closed highwindmx closed 9 years ago

highwindmx commented 10 years ago

I tried search ".sh"(I don't know why *.sh not work) and some of these files have quite a long path, then path column expand and squeeze the file(name) column to unable to see the names, the problem is the file column width can not adjust by using bi-arrow until I make the whole search tool window larger.

I have not tested yet but I am afraid what if a path is so long then even the whole window width can't hold it?

I'm not sure what you're talking about, exactly, as I haven't had any problems with resizing columns, or with filenames that are too long. What version of GTK are you using? I haven't really tested it on anything higher than about 3.8, so maybe they changed something in the api...

Also, I hadn't even considered wild-card characters. I'll get on that when I have a chance.

libgtk3.10.8 installed

about long path and long file name ,you can try create a long path folder: "I_am_a_loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong_path" and subfoler with same folder name

inside put a file "I_have_a_looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong_name" then try to search it , you will find the result try to show the full length of path, then the name can't show full completely

And I will open an issue about wild-card characters seperately.

On my system long filenames are truncated with an elipsis, and the column can be resized always. I'll test it on Mint 17 when I get a chance.

collinss commented 10 years ago

Ok, I just tried it with Mint 17 and was able to reproduce. I'll look into it.
