Resize columns, smart defaults

[zacaj]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
If I don't have a lot of extra columns, I end up with Timestamp and Level being super wide despite not needing that much space.

Describe the solution you'd like

• Columns should be drag-resizable
• by default Message should expand to fill available space and Timestamp/level should only fit their content
• bonus if the Columns settings popup let you configure other columns to also expand/contract

Additional context

(would be happy to make a PR for this too if you want to share the source)

Thanks for the feedback - I hope you're finding the extension useful.
I created this as a way to evaluate copilot (hence the random assignment of this issue to Copilot), so while it's perfectly stable and safe code, the repo itself is a bit messy! Once I've got it tidied up and proof read all the documentation Copilot created along the way, I'll opensource it.

Love the idea though, and definitely improves the useability, so I'll add this to a release later this week.

Keep the feedback coming!

I've been doing a deep dive the past few days into improving the logging of all my apps+scripts, switching from raw console.log to using winston + jsonl, etc and there's surprisingly little out there that can handle this, esp within VS code. although basic, your extension seemed like the most usable and nice feeling so far that I've found :)

That's exactly why I built it - I needed a tool for viewing jsonl / ndjson files and I couldn't find anything that did what I needed.

I'll be handling this feature this week. I'll be looking at your other feedback too, but this one will be the easiest addition

[thedangander]

I've just published a new version with some styling changes to the table to give the message column some visual priority, allow resizing, and allow horizontal scrolling if there are too many properties in the logs so the important columns don't lose their priority.
I'll close this issue now, but keep the feedback coming!

Looking good :)
