I am not sure to understand exactly what "Best Fit (all columns)" is doing.
I would expect this function to apply a "Best Fit" to all columns, as if I would have applied a Best Fit to every column, one after the other, expect the right most one.
But if I choose to apply "Best Fit (all columns)", that's not what I get...

Hi Barnic,

This behaviour is provided by a third party.  Their documentation states that the Best Fit action "Adjusts column widths so that columns fit their content in the optimal way."  I am not familiar with the algorithm they use to determine 'optimal' column widths.  In my testing, the feature provides a good starting point from which manual adjustments can be made.

Hope that helps,

Toby

Hi Toby,

Thank you for your answer.

Yes, I was doing the same as you but I finally find it faster to apply "Best fit" to all my columns except the last one (generally Message), for every log file or merge I open.
So their optimal way is not mine!

That's interesting - thanks for the info.  The message column is special, so it makes sense that you would treat it differently.  I will look into that as maybe we would be better off managing this behaviour with a different algorithm.
