We've looked into this, before.
Yes it would be nice to allocate spare treeview space to the filename column
instead of to the last-shown column. However we then also need to manage other
property(ies) e.g. min-width, so that the column isn't the first to be resized
out of existence when the window size is reduced, for example. Sadly there's no
API for detecting only manual (dragged) column-width changes, or other
reasonable work-around that I can find, to allow the minimum to be dynamically
revised in accord with user's changes.
So, I can't find a reasonable way to do it. Anyone else figured it out?

Tom
