First of all, PCManFM development discussion has another mailing list
so, please, let don't fill lxde-list with it.
About your question: this possibility is currently unavailable but is
planned to be implemented in libfm-1.2.

Yes, this will be possible later. And there are plans to make a solid
API to make custom columns which you are asking for.

The model can be changed for the same FmFolderView (FmStandardView is
an implementation of it) many times and you should not hook onto this
check as its purpose is clearly to set defaults if they weren't set yet.

No, you should not do it, your column should get data inside of some
FmFolderModel API and create representation, so FmFolderView can use it.
And creation of view itself will be handled by FmFolderView without your
intervention with help of future code which is planned for 1.2 as I said
above.
>Thanks for any info,
You're welcome.
