Text Formatting ⇒ Format list of figures

[macgyver]

Hi everyone.
I'm facing some trouble formatting the list of figures for my thesis and I would really appreciate it if someone could help me resolve it.

I would like to decrease the size available for the title of the figure while at the same time
- the title retains the same distance from the figure number (\setlength{\cftfignumwidth}{1.9em})
- the dots end just 1em before the page number.

I solved the issue partly using \cftsetpnumwidth{2em} however the dots stop way before the page number.

Thank you in advance.

Here is a minimal working example.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper,english]{report}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{babel}
\usepackage[font=small,labelfont={bf,sf},tableposition=top]{caption}
\usepackage{tocloft}
\setlength{\cftfignumwidth}{1.9em}  % Modify number width in LoF
\begin{document}
  \listoffigures
  \chapter{Dummy Chapter}
    \section{Dummy Section}
    \begin{figure}[!ht]
      \centering
      \rule{6.4cm}{3.6cm}
      \caption{This is a very very very very very very very very long caption}\label{fig:dummy}
    \end{figure}
\end{document}

Thank you in advance
