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 Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1243806 Title: The names column has its width dictated by other columns To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nautilus/+bug/1243806/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
