I added this. It is in calibre source now.

I think the "Size all columns to contents" should be added to that menu, not in this plugin.

Then the "Shrink column if it is too wide to fit" can be left to you as the user to determine which ones you want to shrink. As chaley says it is too problematic to try to figure out which one makes the most sense to try to shrink and "when to stop" etc.

I am not going to do either of size all columns or shrink all columns. I don't think the first is useful enough to do, and in any event can now be done column by column using the shortcut to open the context menu. I don't see any way to get the second one right. There would be no end of "It didn't do what I want" reports.
