Size column flips to left aligned e.g. after sorting by size

Post by topbanana »

Sometimes the size column flips to displaying the file/folder sizes aligned to the left, instead of the right, which makes it hard to read/compare sizes/etc...

Any number column should always be right-hand aligned.
...and ideally, it should also be aligned to the decimal point if needed

Code: Select all

Wrong:
  23453245
  34532
  5463546

Right:
  23453245
     34532
   5463546

Best:
  23,453,245.23
      34,532.234
   5,463,546.2

(Or 23.453.245,23 if you're in parts of europe)

Yes I see that. But until today I don't think I've ever sorted by size before.
Real bad part is when you go back to sort by name the size column stays left justified. you have to close and the reopen ++ to get it back to normal.

added to the list of bug to fix. I may workon this quite soon since I think it shouldn't be a big fix.
in the meanwhile, you can get the size column back ti right adjustment by hiding and showing the column again.

Can i also add that the size columns (total & free space) are wrongly left-justified by default when looking at "Computer", where it lists the disks.

Cheers for the fixes for my original bug :-)
