Resize Columns to Fit is a penny pincher

Post by zweistein »

For the first time I saw EDP marking cells in a directory comparison with bold. I understand it points out that this was the difference it found among file properties without having to compare contents. Nice (although I'd rather see a different background or hatch 8) and keep the font as wide as the other slices).

However this made me realize that resizing columns to fit their contents (whether globally through the context menu or by double-clicking on a column header separator) doesn't fully work. Even if there is plenty of space, only the first column becomes wide enough. The others run a few pixels short. Tried with different column and font settings. This is in the latest beta but I noticed this long ago already, on the Time column. I thought it actually intended to hide the seconds...

Another nice feature I just noticed is Help > Check for updates. It lead me to
http://www.prestosoft.com/ps.asp?page=e ... er=3.4.0.2
which refers to http://www.prestosoft.com/download/edp34beta.zip
which doesn't exist because of the last p. If only I were a professional pun-writer I could end this topic suitably...

EDPro uses LVM_SETCOLUMNWIDTH message with LVSCW_AUTOSIZE_USEHEADER. See http://vbnet.mvps.org/index.html?code/c ... tosize.htm for an illustration. It's not perfect but that's how Windows does the auto-sizing (you get the same effect when you double-click on column separators.

Thanks for pointing this out. It is now fixed.
