Copy or set columns?

[stedlj]

If I select "Music" and set my columns as I want, then go to "Artists" it forgets or does not use what I just set above. So i set them again, then when I open an artist it again does not use what I have set above.

How do you create and set a view of columns with widths and have it be set for all items under that item?
Is there a way to copy and apply a view?

I am using MM 5.0.2 on Windows 11
Thanks,

These are all individually set for more flexibility. However once set it should remember how you configured them.

In this case "flexibility" = pain!

I would vote for an option to have the same column settings used everywhere.

You can create custom views and re-use those: https://www.mediamonkey.com/wiki/WebHel ... ging_Views

This is only a small part of what we are looking for.

- A custom view created under all tracks is not available for my playlists. It is also not available under a sub-node of albums.

- It appears that column widths and/or Column order often don't stick from one node to the next. Set a custom view under say all tracks, open another node, load the custom view, and all the column widths are off again. After trying a few more times, it seems to stick sometimes, but not other times.

To be really useful, the view setting needs to reliably save all aspects of the layout, and be available in all nodes.
