Description

When it needs to list atleast one really long file name. It might happen that the File Name column gets so wide that it causes the 'Path' column to not even visible without scrolling. Might be confusing to people who don't realize the box has a horizontal scrollbar.

I'd suggest forcing a max % width on the File Name column so that Path is always visible atleast. (people can manually change the width of course, but default should be that percentage i think)

Contributor guide

Research direction
Find the UI layout code that controls the file name column width in the application's file listing view, and add a maximum width constraint (e.g., using a percentage or fixed value) to ensure the path column remains visible.
