column width auto-size per single-album

column width auto-size per single-album settings

foobar should auto-size column-width depending on single-albums:
e.g. the title-column should be as wide as the longest title on this album.
you could achieve this with a scan-function:
scan all files with the same %album%-tag for the longest title (and artist - in case of a compilation)

example:

(btw: char limitation feature not included)

rad would be a feature for character limitation, adjustable for each tag-caterory, so e.g. track-titles with more than 10 chars would be cut off by the next category by using ellipsis. (this would also be cool as standalone plugin!)
e.g.: %title% ->limit to 20 chars

The main difference to columns_ui is that this requested plugin here is depending on single-albums. I request this cuz I'd love to have a slim and narrow player.

Is there already a plugin with these features?
Do you think this is programmable/manageable?

Something like this can easily be achieved with the Default UI (or even Columns UI with only one column).
To put it short: use $cut() to cut down too long tags and $tab() to achieve the feel of columns.
