I've made this request before, but I suspect it's fallen off the radar. There are about 10 features that I've requested since the 7.x version series that have yet to make it into a 8.x series. I'll be posting them separately.
When defining a custom view, column width PERCENTAGES should be an allowed value, outside of just specifying pixel width.
| Column 1 Width: | 1000 | One Column | | |
| Column 2 Width: | 300 | Two Column | |
| Column 3 Width: |
Instead of 1000/300, the application should accept "25%" and "75%" for values, allowing for flexible width displays that scale to monitor sizes and resolutions. Fixed width is so 1990s.
