Describe the question

Can the date and permission columns be hidden if the window is small? Is there any option?
In yazi:

In lf:

I use the following code in init.lua:

function ya.readable_size(size)
	-- local units = { "B", "KB", "MB", "GB", "TB", "PB", "EB" }
	local units = { "B", "K", "M", "G", "T", "P", "E", "Z", "Y", "R", "Q" }
	local i = 1
	while size > 1000.0 and i < #units do
	-- while size > 1024.0 and i < #units do
		size = size / 1000.0
		-- size = size / 1024.0
		i = i + 1
	end
	if size % 1 == 0 then
		return string.format("%.f%s", size, units[i])
	else
		return string.format("%.1f%s", size, units[i])
	end
end

function Linemode:custom()
  local year = os.date("%Y")
  local time = (self._file.cha.mtime or 0) // 1
  if time > 0 and os.date("%Y", time) == year then
    time = os.date("%b %d %H:%M", time)
  else
    time = time and os.date("%b %d  %Y", time) or ""
  end

  local size = self._file:size()
  local size_str = size and ya.readable_size(size):gsub(" ", "") or "-"
  local perms = (self._file.cha and self._file.cha:perm()) or "----------"

  return ui.Line(string.format(" %s %s %s ", size_str, time, perms))
end

[sxyazi]

Return an empty string from your custom linemode function if you want to hide it, for example:

function Linemode:custom()
  if ui.area("current").w < 60 then
    return ""
  end
  local year = os.date("%Y")
  local time = (self._file.cha.mtime or 0) // 1
  if time > 0 and os.date("%Y", time) == year then
    time = os.date("%b %d %H:%M", time)
  else
    time = time and os.date("%b %d  %Y", time) or ""
  end

  local size = self._file:size()
  local size_str = size and ya.readable_size(size):gsub(" ", "") or "-"
  local perms = (self._file.cha and self._file.cha:perm()) or "----------"

  return ui.Line(string.format(" %s %s %s ", size_str, time, perms))
end

Increase or decrease 60 as needed

Thank u so much for your help, sxyazi! Working perfectly! Unfortunately, the lua language is too advanced for me. And, of course, I'm not sure about the variables, what can be used for programming :)
