Re: [ jEdit-users ] File system browser columns

[Roman T. <tso...@gm...>]

Any ideas? Is anybody using favourites? Those who are do you expand your
items right from the favourites list? Is there anyone who is bothered by
these columns? I would like to fix that but do not want to break anyone's
experience (quite poor I believe as it is practically unusable).
