This is especially nasty while nautilus doesn't really distinguish between the filetypes anymore. So an .epub, .doc, .mobi, .odt and a .pdf will always show as 'Document' in the type column.
While I am interested in the in the real filetype, I had to remove the type column and add the mime-type column which made the 'too small name column' just worse while mime types are very big. You can't even make the mime-type column smaller, so that bug here just made nautilus unusable for me. If even would switch to nautilus again if this mega-package of bugs would be fixed. :-) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1243806 Title: The names column has its width dictated by other columns Status in Nautilus: Confirmed Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “nautilus” source package in Trusty: Triaged Bug description: Folder names in Location area keeps the width even though when I go back to upper folder. First of all this new downgraded nautilus folder section holds its width and I cannot even change the width at all. Then when I go deep down lower folders or open folder with long name, it would squeeze down the "Name" part and I cannot even see names anymore. Then when I go up to upper folder or root, I cannot see the names anymore becaue location column takes up all the space. Once I click one of the unseen folder, I may see the names again. This is one of too many problems of 13.10.
