ELN display

[Docbroke]

Instead of current

8
9
10
11
12

we may use

08
09
10
11
12

or

 8
 9
10
11

to make it look uniform.

btw., clifm is now in official alpine linux repositories.

Hi @Docbroke. I remember I tried something like this once, but I didn't like the result when you list lots of files: 01 is readable, but 0001 could be a bit annoying. Spaces could be used as well to pad ELN's. So, instead of "0001" we could have " 1", or maybe, right padding it: "1 ".

I guess making this optional might work. Something like ElnPad (in the config file) taking the following values: none, zero, leftspace, and rightspace.

[Docbroke]

Padding will do. Purpose is to have file/directory names displayed symmetrically.

[leo-arch]

Great. Working on it.

Three ELN padding modes (no padding should be an option too):

[Docbroke]

Yes, I feel left space padding is good enough default.

[leo-arch]

Cool. This new feature should be in master in a few hours.

[leo-arch]

Well, this thing should be working now. Give it a try and let me know. There's a new option in the config file: ELNPad (values: 0=none, 1=zeroes, 2=spaces on the left, and 3=spaces on the right).

[Docbroke]

Thanks.
This is perfect. With a quick try, ELNPad=2 looks good to me. 1(zeroes) is also fine for small number of files. 3(right) looks odd to me.

[leo-arch]

Great. As you said, it's always good to have options.

I asked for that https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/aports/-/issues/13111
And they responded within 2 days.

That is reason I am here. I have recently started using alpine as my main os.

Ohhh, it was you! Thank you very much! Having CliFM in official repos is an important way of making this little monster grow.
