Hi AH
I disagree with your disagreement. ;)
Okay, I won't contest technical reasons. If something is difficult or impossible in given environment, tough luck. But when you tell me that fixed preset list of possible window dimensions is good for me, I start sensing some 640kb-ought-to-be-good-for-everyone attitude. Besides, this super 175x83 mode renders as 80x43 on my 1400x1050 laptop, no matter which font I choose. My point is, the user is to decide whot size of window suits him. But again, I'm not going to push anyone into rewriting some major or minor Windows component.
As a workaround, maybe it's possible to augment this list of modes? I mean, at the very least just one 'user defined' mode, where you can set some particular mode you are comfortable with and which incidentally works in your particular environment.
BTW, I was specific about the version I'm using because I cannot check LNX version at the moment. When I do, maybe I will have another batch of random thoughts.
About point 2, I was thinking more about 'Max/normalize panel size' than about actually resizing window. Use case is browsing directory with quite long file names. The most simple and natural operation for me in that moment is to hit Ctrl-M to enlarge current panel and in that moment this setting of column would be most appreciated.
Best regards.
