The new feature supports only completely hiding a column. But what we lose by removal of width cookie is: - Ability to truncate text in columns to a particular width (like 10) so that I can at least know what the content of that cell is about. And then to edit the cell, I would do C-c ` (org-table-edit-field). This is very useful for cells with verbose texts. That way, I can fit all the columns in a single screen width. - Also heavily missed will be retaining the narrowed/hidden state of the columns. -- Kaushal Modi --94eb2c1cee6ec4ff170553fddd5a Content-Type: text/html; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

The feat= ure works nicely as explained, but please do not remove the width cookie!

The new feature supports only completely hiding a c= olumn. But what we lose by removal of width cookie is:
