P: Stretch Source import column

Hello,
I would like to forward a feature request.
It would be extremely useful having a possibility to stretch Source column while choosing pictures to import. We can only stretch columns in library and develop module, but not in import window. Sometimes I cannot fully see folder path, because the column is simply too narrow. Please, see the screenshot - I used red rectangle to mark the area I mean.
Another handy feature would be to paste the entire folder path, after copying it from file/folder explorer. I work on Windows 10, but I guess ot could also work this way on other systems. It could make accessing picture folders much faster, provided that we already have opened them in our system.
Please, consider improving this aspect.

"Maybe I wasn't looking enough"

 

No, it's very hard to search the Adobe forums -- the search functions are mediocre at best, a lot of the older posts haven't been copied to this new forum, and it can take me a long time to find an old post I'm sure is there, somewhere.

You're right.

Sorry, I didn't find those threads. Maybe I wasn't looking enough 🙂

A number of people have requested this over the years:

I don't know why the feature request hasn't been copied from the old feedback forum to this forum.  

 

If you read carefully through that thread, you'll see a couple of workarounds that make it a little easier to deal with the limitation.
