Option to display files and folders line-by-line

Post by rbytes »

Displaying files and folders as a grid in SPL was a surprise to me, but I have tried to get used to it.

Now that I have worked with it for a while, I feel it has some definite disadvantages compared to a simple list.

- longer file and folder names are often cut off on the right. This makes it difficult to determine the version number and/or extender, which can be critical to tell files apart.
- alphabetic sorting is most helpful when it flows in one direction (usually down). When it criss-crosses the screen in multiple columns, I have to search longer to find a file by its first character.

I would really like an option (maybe in Settings?) to show files and folders line-by-line.

Thanks.

In version 0.0.20 I changed files layout - now it is adaptive to names' length and should not have any hidden parts, but still is auto-arranged in columns if it is possible.
Please tell if it is acceptable or still requires forced one-column setting.
