Feature Requests and Suggestions / Re: Implement Toggleable Locking For Sorting Columns In Explorer Panel

« Last post by total_annihilation00 on June 23, 2025, 15:45:50 »

Problem is that a lock would only prevent user from changing them. If MC do it in some situation that would not be prevented by a lock.
So the question is really.  In what situation does MC changes the size when it should not. ? Because that is probably a bug. Since MC should not resize if AutoSize is turned off.

Valid. Yeah I never drag the columns, but somehow MC always changes them when navigating to and fro tabs. Perhaps it's a bug I'am not 100% certain.

Not sure about size, but sort order is often changed after search

Yeah I have to routinely set them back to Default.

I would like to clarify my suggestion: I would ideally like an option on right-click menu of the Columns to Lock them into Place, preventing User or MC from resizing/ dragging/ modifying their sizes ! MC keeps randomly squashing the Columns together & I have to Restore them using Defaults everytime ! See attached screenshot please ! This would help me a lot.

P.S: Then again I can understand if this cannot be implemented as "My Pictures", "Music" folder etc. uses different Columns than the default folders, so it's alright I'll let it rest for now…

You can turn in off is it is not shown in the UI

Menu > Configuration > Explorer Panel Settings > Display (tab)
Under the section "Sorting and Columns"

Uncheck the option "Show link target in name column"

I can copy paste and translate on google.. but I don't have the time to mess with that and this forum is on english so most people looking for issues can read it.

'J' is Junction.. 'S' is SymLink..  that are different type of links on the filesystem that redirect to another file/folder
The path shown after the J/S is what the links goes to..

So for you
The Folder named "Cookies" it a link of junction type that points to "C:\Users\Joschik\AppData\Local\........."

Do you have no translating Tool? In English:

Hello, I've discovered several file names/folders with the following structure in my folder tree:
e.g., see attached image. What do these mean, and how can I hide them? When clicked, the folders are filled with content. Are they from drive J?

... ---> [J] ....
