Better custom columns view.

[nsp]

I have some LARGE custom column definitions which are comfortable when i work on 4K monitors. On the field, on laptop the information are not visible and i cannot hide easily columns nor have an horizontal scrollbar to focus on column far away.
Could it be possible to have a sub menu on column header to hide/show any column (like on explorer). It do not need to be remembered for the custom definition.
An horizontal scrollbar or left/right arrow to focus on column.

I can totally relate to this suggestion.

Another thing that might help (instead of hiding columns) is to change the width of the panel that shows the wide view.
While *nsp certainly knows this feature, I find it too inflexible to be used:

1st: Using the mouse to drag the panel separator is cumbersome.
2nd: There is just cm_50Percent and cm_100Percent as commands (afaik).

My suggestion:
What about

Code: Select all

cm_percent <param>

to set the width of the left panel arbitrarily?

The param could be an absolute value without a sign (0..100) or a relative value with a sign (-100..+100).

Code: Select all

cm_percent 25

would then set the left panel to 25%.

Code: Select all

cm_percent +10
cm_percent -10

would increase/decrease the width by 10% points (with limits at 0 and 100 or with wrapping).

With the relative value it would be possible to assign command to shortcuts which can easily adjust the panel width very fast and conveniently.

cm_100Percent already works this way!
Did you try e.g.

Code: Select all

cm_100Percent 25

cm_100Percent already works this way!

Ahem!?

That's surprising -- and not really intuitive.
Also due to the fact that the command browser doesn't list it in the category of commands with parameters.

But ok, thank you.

(still, +/-value to change the current width would be nice)

26.09.16 Added: cm_100percent now accepts a parameter: If >0, it sets the panel width (in percent) of the active panel. If <0, it sets the panel width (in percent) of the left window. Example: cm_100percent 70 (32/64)

You can see here which commands supports parameters in one way or the other here: https://www.ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?p=399700#p399700

thx

It's true, many commands have parameters described in the history.txt file.
However, the description in TC's command browser says nothing about these options -- a real pitty.

Thank you. That's certainly helpful.
However, for a complete help/documentation within TC itself I would still appreciate this information in the command browser and/or chm file.

Thanks for suggestion but my concern is to be able to enable/disable column or re-arrange on custom columns without affecting the definition.
The goal is to have the interesting column near the border of the panel and not resizing it as it will impact the target size.
In File explorer, you can dynamically chose what to see and also arrange column by drag 'n drop or with more menu. This is the kind of feature i would like in TC.

Several posts split to cm_100Percent <parameter> (to keep this thread more on topic)
