Reduce width of git portion of Current Folder pane

Can I give more space to file names, and less space to the small git status icon? See attached screenshot. I don't see any way to change the relative space allocation. I'm using MacOS if that makes a difference.

I'm plagued with the same issue. At least I can adjust it, but it resets to default when I re-open MATLAB and I have to manually re-size. On Windows, I hover my mouse cursor just left of 'Git' (the | partition divide), where I can then click and drag to adjust the size.

This comment answers my question. On Mac, when I move the partition, the new location persists even after closing and reopening Matlab. I had tried to drag the partition, but I didn't try the top portion (just to the left of 'Git'). I'm sorry to hear the same doesn't work on Windows.

You can drag the column partition to adjust the width of it.

Hi Rich,

I understand that you want to resize the columns of the "Current Folder" pane.

There are different ways to do this depending on the IDE you are using. However, as Aman said, you can manually resize the sidebar by dragging the divider present.

I hope it helps!

Thank you.

Hello,

I know I can resize the column, but I am having this issue where whenever I rezise ANY docked window horizontally, each other windows tries to adjust proportionally with it. This means that despite shrinking the Git column, if I ever want to expand/contract another pane, (such as adjusting the size of my workspace pane, which is on the right hand side of my IDE), then the column grows and I find myself constantly changing the width back down every time I want to get a closer inspection of my workspace.

Is there a way to fix a column width of the pane, so that other columns grow and this one does not? Or at least fix it so that adjusting a pane width that is not adjacent to the Current Folder pane does not cascase the effects into the Current Folder pane?
