Auto-Resize Column in Detail-View

Posted by Admin On August - 2 - 2009

Okay, we have some folders that have a large amount of file. We usually use a detail-view to make us easier to manage and view these large amount of files. This detail-view can give you detailed info about your files, such as file size, file type and date modified. This picture below is my mp3s folder. In detail-view, Windows give me a detailed information about my mp3 files. The first column is the file name, followed by artist name, album name, track number, genre and rating.

Windows solved your problem of viewing large amount of files and Windows give you another problem. Windows will give you many useful information about a file, but sometimes they give you a massive information or you can say overloaded information and your window size can limit the information they gave to you. To make them fit to your window, they cut the information and if you want to see it, you have to resize the column by yourself. If you do it many times and always do resize manually when you open a folder, this will waste your time, thus you don’t have time to visit my blog.

This way can help you to do rezise quickly and easy. After you opened a folder, just press [Ctrl] + [+]. The window will resize the column to fit the information automatically. It will fit depends of the length of the information. As you can see above, the first column will follow the longest file name and the second column will follow the longest artist name respectively.
