Automatic column count

[davidparsson]

It would be nice if the column count could be automatically decided based on the number of displayed jobs, similar to the automatic font size adjustment introduced in #165. The number of columns should be able to change when the number of jobs changes.

I think the configuration should be modified to somehow control a desired ratio between the number of rows and columns instead of just the number of columns. I also think a ratio of three rows per column would be a sane default.

Example: If the row/column ratio is set to 3:1, the layout should contain three times more rows than columns. In this case a view with:

• 3 jobs would get 1 column
• 4 jobs would get 2 columns containing 2 jobs each
• 5 jobs would get 2 columns containing 2 jobs each and a two-column job at the bottom
• 6 jobs would get 2 columns containing 3 jobs each
• 12 jobs would get 3 columns containing 4 jobs each

@jan-molak, 👍/👎?

There is a trick to this. Edit cookies manually and set numberOfColumns to 9.

With this hack Build Monitor can fit my 320 jobs on a single screen.

Hi Mustafa,

that does not answer my question. How many teams are we talking about?
