- easy to select an item by clicking on the line, instead of name only
- enhance visual indication of the selected item
- edge-to-edge selection just looks better (no broken lines)

I would stick to windows File explorer as standard

it's not possible, Qt behavior

Selection in Catalog Filter is widen all the way to the right

Is it possible to make the same for:
- Folders
- Favorites

yes, but children are not all expanded (and created) in folder tree view... so here i can't

but it it should not depend on children, column should always auto stretch to the widget size

aren't Folders and Catalog Filter using same QTreeView?
that has QHeaderView::ResizeMode, guess this is similar use case
