• I have read the contributing guidelines.

Version of Nimble Commander

v1.7.0 (macOS 12.7.3)

Current Appearance

1. Start up NC.
2. Show Dual-Pane Mode with Full mode (Name, Extension, Size, Date Created, Date Added, Date Modified).
3. [Optional] Configure a fixed width font for List mode text (for current Theme).
4. Adjust column widths (see fist screenshot). Date columns have been adjusted to show short date/time formats. Extension and Size columns have been adjusted to be somewhat wider than the default width.
5. Quite NC.
6. Restart NC.
7. The column widths are not preserved (see second screenshot). Extension and Size columns are set to default widths; Date Modified column (right-most) gets squashed a bit.

First run (after column adjustments):

After restart:

Expected Appearance

After restart, NC should restore all column widths (possibly except for the Name column, if the display size has changed).

Additional Information

Ideally, there should be a way of configuring default column widths for the List Layout type (i.e under Preferences | Panels | Layout). The Name column wouldn't need a default size (as it would just end up taking the available space). The other columns should have the option of specifying an optional fixed width.

I've adjusted the list view to reduce the amount of autoresizing, columns' widths should be more stable now.
You can check the nightly build to see if it fixes your issue.
