Hi amigo

Thank you very much for your help! I did solve a part of my problems. The most important problem continue to be there:

I very often download internet pages having in her HTML codes proposals for page name etc.

after that, you have the situation documented in following picture: all the rows in Rox show only the very long name field and the other columns disappear from Rox window at the right side.

for this reason I would prefer to see the columns in following order:

- date
- kind of file
- size
and only at the end
- name (the part finding place in that view! it is often enough! if the directory contains only ONE (1) long name, it disturbs the view for all rows in that directory

(in M$ windows it was easy: click on the top field of the column and hold with CapsLock and move the column right or left!)

thank you again

kind regards

Click on the TOP line of the treeview , it is called label-line .

With all these labels like "Name" "Type" "Size" "Permissions" .

Keep the mouse button pressed and try to move the label right and left ,

until 2 black arrow heads come forth .

Then release the button.


To change the label size ,
try to hover over the right and left ends of the label,
then it should come fort a smaller arrow with heads pointing left and right .

Am using the stock slacko64-5.8.8 rox 2.11 GTK 2.24.10 ATM
and I can only change the label size
of the four leftmost labels .

Bugu GTK .
Bugu GDK .
Bugu ROX .


Bugu Whatever .

Hallo Karl

Thank you for your help: it works as you did explain...

... in Puppy.

Now I have to make a confession: It was not in Puppy but in Ubuntu where I reproduce the Puppy environment (JWM, Rox, mTpaint etc. so I have full Puppy confort and also full KDE if I will with all actual versions of KDE: new Calligra, software like Parley, last version of Merkaartor, the Puppy one is not the last (you don't find the BING aerial views in the background, etc.).

Und in Ubuntu

it is not possible to move the columns as you did describe like in Puppy!

An idea?

Kind regards.

PS: I already did also try in sudo of course! and same with the avanced options booting!
