Merge lp:~elementary-dev-community/pantheon-files/fix-1086929 into lp:~elementary-apps/pantheon-files/trunk

[Julián Unrrein]

Make columns automatically size themselves to fit the longest item contained. Fixes bug #1086929.

By Jeremy Wootten

Make columns automatically size themselves to fit the longest item contained. Fixes bug #1086929.

The first column can't be downsized, for now.

[Cody Garver (codygarver)]

Special notes:

Manually merge this and use --author flag to give Jeremy credit.

A stable release of Files should be made RIGHT BEFORE this is merged

[Cody Garver (codygarver)]

Trunk is now prepared to receive this branch, pending David "Munchor" Gomes' code review.

[David Gomes (davidgomes)]

Diff line 116 - wrong brace opening style.
Add newline after diff line 135, 164.
Diff lines 983-985 - fix alignent, that is, the '"', the '_', the other '"' and 'N' should be in the same column.
Same thing for diff lines 1549 and after, 2022 and after, 2038 and after, 2121 and 2122.
Remove diff line 2151

review: Needs Fixing

[Cody Garver (codygarver)]

Rejected because it was submitted as a newer branch that did get merged.
