Why don't you use column view instead?

um.  because...  um.... I guess I had some reason a year ago when I designed this system. Looking at it again today, column view looks great...

 

small question: Is it possible to get one or more columns to always line up o nthe right hand side of the buffer? Or to assign a width to the first column (in my case the item name) that is somehting like "buffer-width minus 30"?
