This deserves a response.
The second option is a consequence of the first. if one resized all columns to fit their content, and there were a couple of very long cells - e.g. Jeffery Sachs' recent report titled "The Lancet Commission on lessons for the future from the COVID-19 pandemic" (70+ chars) and it's list of 41 contributors (900+ chars), the right most columns would be in next door's front parlour, so to speak
Aside: I actually thought this functionality already existed in VM, but when I looked it wasn't there - then I spotted the options in the header context menu - what does "Shrink column if it is too wide to fit" actually do?
Idea: - provide a tool that that makes the current cell's column header context menu available in a toolbar or menu, then I could get at it from the book list context menu.
