Column/Track Browser doesn't keep three columns

[rrfpacker]

For the last month or so, my column browser doesn't always show three columns as it has for the last three or four years. Sometimes it's one, sometimes two, it is not consistent. I'm using MM 4.0.7.1511 and have been since it was released. I haven't added anything in the last month that should change this behaviour. Any thoughts?

There is a fix in this area in MediaMonkey 4.1. You can try the beta from the Beta Testing forum.

Thanks, Lowlander. I'll wait for the final release.

Can a script run on open of MediaMonkey that tells it what tabs and columns to display? If so, what System Service (or whatever these are called in this) do I need to use to set those properties?

Many thanks,
Martin Banks

I posted the above on December 18, 2013. MM had been working great for me with the version listed and then one day the column browser only had one column and it has been hit or miss since as to what I will get, 1,2, or 3 columns. Upgraded to 4.1 a couple of days ago and the problem still exists...the last two days only one. Any thoughts?

Is Title a missing column? It should be fixed: http://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=9560 Also do you use multiple tabs?

A debug log (step 4b) capturing the start of MM loosing a column would like work the best: http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=69

No, I don't use Title in the column browser, 99% of the time it's Genre, Album Artist, Album. I don't use multiple tabs, if I remember correctly I turned that function off a long time ago. Debug log is next I guess.

I'm still baffled at how this function could work for years and then all of a sudden stop working.

The fix (there were a couple) in MediaMonkey 4.1 could have triggered the new problems.

I'm guessing there isn't a way to code this then? I would love to have code that tells it what columns to display and properties like the width etc

[Lowlander]

You can already set which columns to display.

[martinstephenbanks]

Via a script? What is the system service called? I can look it up on the Wiki once I know what to look for.

Thanks buddy

[Lowlander]

Right click on any column header in the Column Browser to change which column is shown. You can also add/remove columns.

Stopped working before I upgraded to 4.1. I was running 4.0.7.1511 since its release until three days ago when I upgraded. Then I had other problems show up for which I've started threads.

Am I missing something here or has my question not been answered? Can this be done via scripting?
