Re: PATCH: Choose best width for Data Output columns of Query tool

Hello Dinesh,

That possibly was a wide column that didn't want to shorten?
Ok, I changed AutoSizeColumns(bool setAsMin = true) to false.

I missed this, but now it should work as it did before.

That's exactly what is done :)

Please see the modified patch attached.
Thanks.
