I guess so, but it might be possible to change the default behaviour... > If the columns are too > small, it tries to squeeze it in by putting ... Well, there are some points that indicate that Qt doesn't behave optimal... for example, when first opening the version browser, the directory column didn't have a vertical scroll bar. I managed to pull the colmn a bit wider, so it got a scrollbar, but then I couldn't get a handle on the column header any more to change that width again. Also, the default truncation leaves only very few characters at the beginning of each word; if your directory names start with the same characters, you won't be able to distinguish them. > It seems to me that you > just need to make the window (column) size larger.
