Description
After a full work day with fman 0.7.2 I would like to ask to add an option for fixed columns. It is a bit disorienting when after changing directories columns shift, caused by Name column resizing due to different contents. Entering empty directory causes Name column to fill almost all space and leave only Size column visible, Modified column is hidden.
I think this option might improve performance a bit, as there will be no need to wait for all contents inside pane to load to resize columns.
And maybe vertical scrollbar could be moved below pane header, to prevent column headers from moving when switching to directory with more files? Last column should always have some space allocated for scrollbar, to keep contents visible.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Reproduce the column resizing when changing directories, then determine the scope of a fixed-width option and scrollbar placement; done should keep configured columns and headers visible across directories without hiding later columns.
