Enhancement Request: Ability to edit Column width in a View

If possible, could you add the ability to manually edit the Column width for the columns within a view.

I have several Views which have the same fields, just displayed/sorted in a different order and would like them to be able to be the same size in each view. I used to do this within the View Manager.json (editing it manually), but now that it is saved in the DB this is no longer an option.

Note: I have tried to use the 'Save Column Widths' option without success. There are times when this option sets the column width to '-1' instead of the width, which seems to cause the column width to auto-size to data within the column the next time I start calibre. Also, since calibre has no way to manually set the column width, this would not result in columns of the same width (yes, I will see it jump if it is off by just a few pixels...you can't have Analyst without 'anal'-retentiveness...).

Thank you for your time and consideration.
