[Wish] Dynamic columns' content

Post by *fenix_productions »

Hi all.

I have a nice idea for improving TC's look and feel and I hope someone will like it :)

By default you can resize TC's columns to have proper display of them. Their content depend on few options like: dynamic files size or date format. Wouldn't it be nicer to have additional option for making everything dynamic?

What I mean is that (ex.) the date can be displayed in TC in the form of dd-mm-yyyy hh:mm (or similar) and it will not change even if the width of the column is smaller than this text. Considering different data representation formats you could have few other possibilities:

Code: Select all

Tuesday 13 January 2009 14:00
Tue 13 January 2009 14:00
13 January 2009 14:00
13 Jan 2008 14:00
13/01/2008 14:00
13/01/08 14:00
BUT in current situation each one of them would be cut for smaller width.

Big step for improvement is to change it dynamically. If the column width is right then full format could be displayed. In the case of very limited space, only shortened version would appear.

The same feature should be implemented for other columns.

Because one picture means 1k words, please, take a look on this Flash movie:

Shouldn't be hard for built in TC's columns (writing mock-up took me few minutes only and I am just a beginner).

The problem might appear with plugins but this is something to be discussed by Christian and plugins' developers.

This just seems totally logical.

Big support.

This is a very good Idea!

Also I would like to have an option to display the "Seconds" in the FileTime! Would bwe a GREAT feature ...

And on the way: Could there be an Option for Displaying and Handling the DriveLetter in UPPERCASE; would be very nice to see that!

Thanks!

Displaying and Handling the DriveLetter in UPPERCASE
This is a thread about dynamic date/time column.
I'm just curious: Where do you have a drive letter in your date column? :)
