[TC 8.0ß6 x64] MRT: Size Column Title String Alignment

[karlchen]

Hello, Christian.

As Dalai reported in the German forum, inside the Total Commander multi-rename tool (MRT) the title string of the size column ("Size" / "Größe") is right-aligned in the 64-bit version. The same string is left-aligned in the 32-bit version.

As all other column titles are left-aligned, the size column title should be left-aligned as well, I assume, for consistency reasons.

Total Commander 8.0ß6 64-bit

Cheers,
Karl

Added "inside the Total Commander multi-rename tool (MRT)" to the error report in order to make clear which part of Total Commander the report is about.
Sorry, should have stated so more clearly from the beginning.

Cannot confirm. Here it is left-aligned as all other titles. 8.0β6 x32 and x64, Win7.

What the MRT looks like on T.C. 8.0ß6 64-bit vs 32-bit here, a screenshot explains it better than 1000 words can do: tc8b6-mrt-alignmentsizi7mo.png

Sorry, I did not read the title attentively enough and thought you were talking about main panels. Yes, I confirm that in MRT the "Size" is right-aligned.

I think that the column title should be aligned as the content. Even on your screenshot the x64 version is looking better.

I don't know if right- or left-aligned is better, but it should be consistent between the two versions IMHO.

I can see the difference - which one would you prefer, left- or right-aligned?

Hello, Christian.

As already stated in the German thread:
Inside the file panels all column titles are displayed left-aligned. The same applies to the column titles inside the MRT of all 32-bit Total Commander versions, including 8.0ß6.
It is neither consistent, nor visually particularly appealing to mix left- and right-aligned column headers.

Just my 2 Euro cents.

Cheers,
Karl

It's not so simple; right-aligning the title together with right-aligned contents looks quite consistent to me. However, I agree that left-aligned everywhere is consistent too (just by a different consistency ).

If take the current situation, I tend to vote for "left-aligned everywhere" solution. But probably it could be implemented as an option, so that column titles were same-aligned with the contents of the column, and it would affect all TC windows which have columns with titles: main window, MRT, SyncDirs, whatever else I might miss.

[petermad]

I agree with Flint - either make the aligment of ALL column headers follow the alignment of the contents - or keep ALL column headers left aligned.

[petermad]

Confirmed fixed in TC 8.0b7 - the size column is now left aligned in the x64 version too

Thanks!

[Flint]

Confirm the fix too.
