Are there reasons to only narrow but not to widen columns?I think this is really the only thing that makes sense. Why would you want it any wider, given the limited amount of screen real estate we have here? I don't think it would be difficult to make it behave the way you request, but I don't think I would ever use widening fields. When would you want to use this?
I see, there _are_ reasons for `maximum width' (and other variants would be only additional if ever).
The variant `fixed width' can be useful for the following timetable. Here it is achieved with the field content
`<= widen' in the last row. several columns with the same width: |-------+-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------| | | Mon | Tue | Wed | Thu | Fri | |-------+-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------| | 8:15 | Math | Compute=> | - | Math | Compute=> | | 13:15 | - | Math | Compute=> | - | Math | |-------+-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------| | / | <9> | <9> | <9> | <9> | <9> | | / | <= => | <= => | <= => | <= => | <= => | instead of: |-------+------+--------------+--------------+------+--------------| | | Mon | Tue | Wed | Thu | Fri | |-------+------+--------------+--------------+------+--------------| | 8:15 | Math | Computer S=> | - | Math | Computer S=> | | 13:15 | - | Math | Computer S=> | - | Math | |-------+------+--------------+--------------+------+--------------| | / | | <12> | <12> | | <12> | or even: | Mon | 8:15 | Math | | Tue | 8:15 | Computer Science | | Tue | 13:15 | Math | | Wed | 13:15 | Computer Science | | Thu | 8:15 | Math | | Fri | 8:15 | Computer Science | | Fri | 13:15 | Math |
