The Delete Unused Audio Files window has three columns
* File name
* File size
* Last modified date

When the window is opened all three columns are too narrow. To be certain the correct files are being deleted, the window needs to expanded. When expanded, the columns do not expand with it, so filenames still cannot be read. The file name column can be manually expanded to fit the window. However, if the window is closed and reopened, the window size is lost and all columns return to narrow.

On the other hand, in the Manage Audio Files window, the file column is last and widest by default. And when the window is maximized, it gets the extra real estate. Furthermore, it remembers its window size even across sessions. It would be great if the Delete Unused Audio Files window behaved more like that, and even better if the crucial File name column is given priority by default, especially since File size and Last modified date widths are pretty much constant and easier to predict.

    Yes - the dialog is not really usable as it is.
    I have included expanding the columns to fit contents and saving the window geometry.
    Please merge

    Tested in [5d1980] and works perfectly. The file name column now expands when the window is expanded so its always readable, and in addition the window remembers its size across sessions.

    Looks closable to me.
