Hi, this issue is already tracked as https://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=17594 (see details in the Mantis issue)

So far there is only the shareColumns.mmip addon for this purpose (AFAIK), the addon and details here: https://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewt ... 24#p478724

... and was also discussed here: https://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewt ... 31#p481431

How can I remove views from managed views?? I only want List. I do not want Browser, Grid (videos) or List (by Series). Only List.

Or - is there a way to set all my collections and subnodes to List? The problem I am having is this... I have set the view to List and set my columns to exactly how I want them. However when I open the subnodes for that collection, and click an album artist for example, the view is set to Grid. Do I have to go through the thousands of subnodes and setting each view to List???

It is extremely annoying to see the ugly grid view of hundreds of songs when a simple list would suffice.

No, you can't remove default Views. However, once you set the View for an Album, all Albums will use that View.

Looking to do something similar.

I do not want to remove any views, but I always want specific columns in the Column Filter and other specific columns in the List. Is there a way to either copy the settings from one subnode to another or a parent to its child nodes?

The OP makes a great point: redoing the list over and over again is very annoying. I am trying to clean up hundreds of thousands of files, and this is slowing me down tremendously.

This subject of managing default and custom views has been frequently discussed, but it does not seem to be rising to a priority.

For some reason, it seems to be in the addons line, while I think this should be core functionality.

On the same thought -- is there a way to export and import the collections and subnodes for a different computer? I'm starting to look at some more functionality than I had (hence all the questions). I would love it if i didn't have to recreate the wheel on my second computer.

No, you can take the database, but not export Collections/AutoPlaylists as such.
