823: column width not remembered across close/re-open
Posted: 14.07.2020, 17:07
823 is supposed to contain the "fix" (introduced in 820 and persisting into 821 and 822) for the top/bottom presentation and repeated use of F10 to toggle between single-panel and dual-panel (top/bottom) mode, with Explorer Tree in left pane and Details in right pane for both panels.
Doesn't seem to be too good, although the primary "right-shift creep" of pane divider in lower panel is still not "fixed". But instead, there are now several new issues no doubt introduced as a result of the attempted "fix". Note that my beta version 8221 DID fix the right-shift creep issue. But this 823 version is not the same.
Here's the first problem. Single panel only (not dual-panel). The columns are too wide. These are not the original column divider locations I had with 819 originally, and which were present and just fine in the 8221 (beta) version you provided me. Now with 823, and single panel presentation, even though I drag the column dividers left to where I want them to be when I close and re-open the program the column dividers are right back where they were before I dragged them all to the left. The new column locations are obviously not being remembered.
Now that I look closely at my screenshots, I see that the column locations after close/re-open are not actually the very original locations. Yes, they are not what I manually set them to before closing the program. They have right-shifted by themselves from what I set them to before closing. But after the re-open they are neither where I placed them, nor exactly where they were before I moved them left. Perhaps some kind of auto-sizing is taking place now???
I have no special layout or profile. All of this is standard default. I simply expect the column divider locations to remain where I manually place them. these adjusted column locations should be retained in INI, and should obviously persist across close/re-open. I've tried to SAVE SETTINGS, BACKUP SETTINGS, and then close/re-open, and then RESTORE SETTINGS, and it made no difference. The column dividers are still at their original locations, with complete disregard for where I dragged-left each of them to my satisfaction.
(1) Original first open after installing 823. Columns are too wide, and there is a horizontal scrollbar at the bottom of the window. I don't want this.
(2) After left-drag of each of the column dividers so that all columns fit in the current window width with no horizontal scrollbar at the bottom of the window. This is what I want.
(3) I then close and re-open the program. The column divider locations I just set have been forgotten. The original column locations (which I didn't want) have returned.
Is there some new setting which I must set to auto-save my column divider locations and so that they persist across close/re-open?
