Saving my presets for columns as default?

OK, I was using the Quote method & could not find the attachment button.
The first image is after a fresh launch of MC23. Next view is after I right click the column heading > Presets > My Preset.
The 3rd shot is after I close MC23 & restart it & go to the same album.
I am running MC23 on a Mac Mini High Sierra & everything is local, USB drive, USB DAC etc. Very simple configuration. Tree & View has following checked Auto size columns, & under advanced Allow auto size to cut off long values (which I want).

Aha, you're in an artist/album view, drilling down into the tree?
I'm pretty sure that this way, columns are defined at the top level and propagate down through the tree levels, so I think the answer here is to set the columns in the root view, then close reopen MC and hopefully now, all of the album's you browse to should have your preferred columns.

I don't understand. When I am viewing the specific album, this is the only place I see the columns that I am setting as my preset. I don't see any other view that shows the columns, Name Artist Album Genre etc. I hope I'm not being obtuse, but it's just not obvious to me where else to make the changes.
Thanks for sticking with me,
Kev

Good morning...

I figured the easiest way to show you around this was to knock out a quick video... I was wrong :)
I now think that you may have found a bug in the program as I could not get a column preset to stick.

Every time I drilled into the tree, the columns reset to defaults.

The video is four or five minutes long, shows the perceived bug, and offers an alternative browsing method in the meantime, whilst we wait for confirmation on the bug, or guidance as to what we are both getting wrong :)

Good day Marko,
Thanks so much for working on this. I was feeling like I was the only one who cared. Well, maybe I am, but at least I know that I am not crazy or doing something wrong. Thanks also for the alternate browsing method. It may end up that I prefer this method! I used to struggle with getting back to the top of the tree when I had drilled down into Artists & wanted to switch to Genres for instance. It would be nice to see those headings across the top of the screen for quick access.
Thank again & I will be trying the new browsing setup today. I should probably spend more time customizing MC, but I don't know what is possible. I would love to see a forum topic where people show their configuration & what settings were chosen. Like you did in the video. Thanks again for that.
Regards,
Kev
