Feature: Save Columns View sizes across sessions

[jainal09]

What's the Problem?

For files having long names. In column view it only covers some part of name. Having a feature to resize the column by clicking is absolutely necessary and needed!
(SEE SCREEN SHOT)

Requirements

• Support for resizing columns
• Double clicking the resize bar should size the column to fit
• New columns should automatically be sized based on the longest file name
• Columns sizes should be saved across sessions (possibly)

Would a horizontal scroll bar be better for consistency?

An option in settings menu to resize all the columns would be great too. I mostly use a maximum of 2/3 subfolders so most of the time 30% of my screen is empty.

I support this request, we absolutely need a way to be able to easily drag left/right the columns by clicking on the column line. Example in the screenshot below. Some columns have width wider than necessary, and some have width shorter than necessary.

There are two solutions :

1. Providing an "auto-fit" feature where the columns would adjust automatically to the longest file name.
2. Hovering on the column should display a drag left/right feature, and the user can manually drag wider/shorter.

Personally, I am in favor of Solution 1 (most user-friendly) but Solution 2 is fine too.

Are the custom column sizes supposed to be saved for whenever the directory is opened again?
