Crushed columns

[6mun]

Description

Hello !

I have a specific folder that behaves strangely :

If I use "set columns to fit". it won't do anything - after rebooting the computer, it went fine again. But it does it time to time again. That's my work folder - it have 21K+ files and about 900 folders (but nested), the main one just display 23 folders.

Also, if I add a column, say "tags" for example, it's also minified, and I can't get it to resize manually. I've tried to tinker around, switch the toggle 'adaptative layout' but same here, am stuck

lastly, a quick question: is there a way to change/rearrange the column's order or 1. I've missed something while discovering your gem of an app 2. I should make a feature request cause it's not possible rn ?

Thanks for the report, Can you try right clicking a working folder and click set as default, you can also try turning on Files settings > Layout > Sync layout and sorting preferences across directories > expand or shrink one of the columns slightly in a working folder.

There no option to rearrange the column order, We're tracking this in #8385 . You can check there or click subscribe in the right sidebar for updates.

Hi Josh, And thanks for your swift reply! For time being, it’s just one column that behaves this way, the tag one, see attached screen grab ; I’ve done also all you have recommended, yet the pb is persistent, and I cannot expand this one no matter where am pulling.  Bah, the week-end is coming, I’ll try to do a fresh install, clear preferences etc etc see if things improve this way, and they will probably, cause that kind of thing sounds more like a ‘me-issue’ than a global one. All the best, Simon.

@yaira2 What do you think of the idea to set MinWidth (File Explorer does, around 60px?) directly to the DataGridHeader to privent such issue?

[yaira2]

There is already a min width

I dont think so.

[yaira2]

It's handled in code behind (it's around 20px).

There seems to be a bug in the code behind that's overriding the column widths.

Every min width should be the same, so handling in xaml would be better.
