Ultima Posted December 28, 2005 Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 Ooh... I was just playing with foobar2000 with ColumnsUI, and I noticed that there was something about the columns that I always liked from ColumnsUI that would be kinda cool in µTorrent as well... The resizing columns! When you resize the window, the columns adjust their widths to stay fitting the listbox without causing a horizontal scrollbar (In the newer builds of the ColumnsUI, the option is called "Auto-size columns to use all space", in case someone doesn't know what I'm talking about). This isn't really essential, but is a nice touch.I find it tiresome that I have to resize my window to fit the columns (or the columns to fit the window) in such a way that a horizontal scrollbar doesn't appear, and think this might be a little nifty... Resizing to fit is usually the only reason I have to resize my columns in the first place.If ludde does decide to implement this, I'll just point out a few little things:1) [captain-obvious]Make it optional[/captain-obvious] That way people who use a lot of columns can't complain xP2) If this option is turned on, it should work in the other listboxes as well (Peers tab, Pieces tab, Files tab, pre-download dialog's file list)... maybe the advanced options listbox can be an exception.3) It automatically resizes the columns to fit the listbox's entire visible width4) If you get a vertical scrollbar, the columns should resize properly so that they don't get hidden behind the vertical scrollbar (thus displaying a horizontal scrollbar -- defeating the purpose)Heh I wonder if this is bloat-y... =PAbout "little thing" 4... I notice (on my 2 minute run of the beta) that the new pre-downloading dialog's list of files behaves like what I'm describing as bad in the fourth item on the list above. It defaults to the entire width of the listbox itself (not the viewable area), and when a vertical scrollbar appears (a list with a lot of files), the horizontal scrollbar appears. Heh I mentioned this in the beta thread, but it was quickly buried under other posts, so it appeared to have been missed =P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeFi Posted December 28, 2005 Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 ... I find it tiresome that I have to ...i totally agree with you some features are not life-essential, but some are really genious... :cool:Beyond Compare has the same feature - and it's amazing !-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaosblade Posted December 30, 2005 Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 That might be nice. notice that every column in CUI has its own 'width' and 'resize' pixel size settings. I think one is the minimum width and the other is sorta like a resize factor when auto-adjusting. so you can assure some columns get more space then others.

hendrix Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 yeeesss.. and someway to save your layout (the columns).. i tried the beta and my columns got f*cked up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaosblade Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 Thats a minor issue. Columns have to be resetted when new columns were inserted because your settings dont have any saved settings for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1c3d0g Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 Yesss, Ludde keeps messing with them, that's why they reset every time. Though it's only a minor inconvenience, it's still pretty annoying... :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hofshi Posted January 14, 2006 Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 thanks, that is news to me as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted January 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 Whoa... lol that's news to me too =POnly problem is that it squishes everything together... I'd rather the columns fill the full amount of space available. Still, it's cool =P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
