Description Torkild Resheim CLA 2010-11-24 07:55:46 EST 
Especially the "Last Built" column is not wide enough so most of the text is not visible. We should have some mechanism that would automatically adjust column widths to fill the view width when there are no other settings. Note that the view will store it's column widths between sessions so we just want to initialise with some sane values.
Comment 1 Steffen Pingel CLA 2010-11-24 09:15:36 EST 
Yes, it would be nice to have a smarter layout algorithm that sizes columns. I would like to have the summary column grab whatever available space when I resize the view.
Comment 2 Torkild Resheim CLA 2010-11-24 09:35:22 EST 
Will take a look at this one.
Comment 3 Torkild Resheim CLA 2010-11-25 04:56:35 EST 
Columns will now be resized so that they are able to display all content. If there is any space left, the second column (summary) will be resized so that the entire width of the control is used.

I have disabled the Last Built column in my Builds view but it now always show when I resize the view.
Comment 6 Torkild Resheim CLA 2010-12-16 14:49:57 EST 
Ah... Missed that one. Will take another look.

I just noticed TreeViewerSupport and the possibility to show/hide columns. Nice feature :-) I've done some tweaks that fixes the problem you were having but the current implementation is not perfect.  I'm wondering if it would be better to re-implement this in TreeViewerSupport (or it's parent) and have the columns automatically resize also when a column is shown or hidden. This would be an optional feature of course.
Comment 8 Steffen Pingel CLA 2010-12-17 05:44:12 EST 
Agreed, it would be great to move enhancements that are reusable up to TreeViewerSupport.
