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.
