ArcCatalog - Restore Default Column Widths Option

[SarahWillett]

ArcCatalog should have a Restore Default Column Widths option.
See the following screen captures.



Can we please fix/enhance ArcCatalog to resize to the default colum width similar to ArcMap when it comes to viewing the attribute tables?

Thank you.

ArcGIS Desktop, which includes ArcCatalog, retired March 1, 2026 so we won’t be considering this idea. 

For reference, in ArcGIS Pro, when you preview a table in the Catalog view on the Details panel with the Table tab, columns start with the same default width as when you open a table from a map's Contents pane. You can also open a table in a separate window directly from the Catalog pane or Catalog view, and the resulting table behaves in the same manner as when a table is opened from a map.

Thank you for taking the time to share your ideas. They help us to continuously improve the software. We look forward to seeing what ideas you have for ArcGIS Pro!
