Saving my presets for columns as default?

<< < (3/3)

Matt:
We're not able to reproduce any bugs running the latest version on Windows.

Are you?

We create a column default called "Artist First".  Then we set the list style for the top list to details, load the preset.  Then we load the preset for the bottom list.  We restart and MC is just where we left it.

Any other clues?

Thanks.

After a quick test just now, using a standard panes view, I couldn't reproduce either. I have no time left so will try properly later this afternoon. IIRC, the columns would reset after drilling into the tree and selecting something from the tree list at the end of the branch.

I don't know what to say...

I keep a "Library for testing stuff" here. It's a clean, default MC library. No custom fields, no expression magic. Just the same files is all.

I go to "Audio > Artists" and it opens with the thumbs up top and the file list open down below. I load a column preset for the file list.

Next, I drill down and select an artist. The list is now using default columns, so I load the same preset as before.
Next, still in the tree, I pick an album, and the list is again showing default columns, so I load the preset again.
Finally, I go back 'up top' and select the root "Artists" again, and, yup, file list columns are back to default.

All of the above done from a running MC, switch library and test. No relaunching performed at all.

When I relaunch MC, it loads at "Last Location" ie., "Artists" and the preset columns are displaying.
Drill in and select an artist.... columns are back to default.
Select an album... columns are back to default.
Go back up to "Artists"... columns are back to default.

Personally, I never use the tree this way, so I never bump into it, but it's definately happening. I don't know why.
In these quick tests I just ran through, I didn't even look at the columns behind the thumbnails... They should be independent of each other anyway, right?
