Ability to Save different Colum Layouts

[orichardt]

First of all, thank you for an amazing program! This is by far the most efficient, lightweight and able search app!

It would be very beneficial to be able to save Column layouts so changing between them e.g. image search info, video search info, app search info (incl. version number e.g.) and then be able to recall them like it's possible with bookmarks and filters.

Thank you again.

(Different, but you could use multiple named Instances to approximate something like that.)

Thank you for your feedback.

Columns sets are on my TODO list.
Thank you for the suggestion.

For now, columns can be set from a bookmark with the /columns search command.

For example:

Code: Select all

/columns [{"name":"Name","width":330},{"name":"Path","width":330},{"name":"Size","width":46},{"name":"Date Modified","width":99}]

/columns

/columns

Is there any way of doing that from a macro? I know i can add columns from a macro, but then i cant control their width

Code: Select all

add-column:a a:=$size:

And if i use

Code: Select all

/columns [{"name":"Name","width":330},{"name":"Path","width":330},{"name":"Size","width":46},{"name":"Date Modified","width":99}]

in say a bookmark, the macro wont work.

Another question, is there a way to make the bookmarks search terms hidden, like they are with filters?

It's currently not possible to set the column width from a normal search.
A search command to do this is on my TODO list.

No.

I concur

I too would like to see such feature. It is present in my file-manager FreeCommander and it is simply invaluable to be able to easily switch in it between various modes / views of works

Everything 1.5.0.1400a adds the option to specify the column widths with adding columns from a search.

For example:

Code: Select all

add-columns:[{"name":"width","width":50},{"name":"height","width":50}]

Excellent.
However, if i have a search filter that sets columns and their width, and i execute that with a macro, when i remove the macro, the column width change remains, any way around that? I'd like it to just revert to how it looked before.

For example, using a filter with this as search term:

Code: Select all

add-columns:[{"name":"Name","width":352},{"name":"Shortcut Target","width":628},{"name":"Date Run","width":107}]

I will consider making the widths temporary.
Thank you for the suggestion.

For now, setting the widths is permanent.
