Hi Michael,
Org tables already use up horizontal space with the | syntax. Some
people use large fonts or small displays.
Whatever solution is chosen, making it easy to make tables narrow will
be important.
I think the new implementation (<> means fixed width N characters) does
still fulfill this request.

Hi Carsten, hi all
Are there reasons to only narrow but not to widen columns?
I would like the behavior `fixed width' like
| year | boss | facility management
assistant |
| | <30> |
<30> |
|------+-------------------------------
+--------------------------------|
| 2009 | Alice |
Bob |
but with the current implementation get
| year | boss | facility management assistant |
| | <30> | <30> |
|------+-------+-------------------------------|
| 2009 | Alice | Bob |
which widens the column only if there is too less space left for
the column
content.
As a comparison I can imagine four variants:
<..40> : `maximum width' (what <40> is today)
<30> : `fixed width'
<20..> : `minimum width' (no narrowing)
<20..40> : `width range' (minimum 20, up to 40, narrowing if even
longer)
The most commonly used spreadsheet applications offer just one single
variant
out of the above four (right?) and it is `fixed width'. My vote for
org-table
would be the same: That it should support `fixed width' and that
this is
sufficient as the only variant. What is the opinion of other users?
