Re: [Suggestion] Clean up Column context menu
I'm apt to use the Add Columns..., figuring it is quicker (for me) to go there, & filter, to find my wanted Property rather then picking a particular category & seeing if my wanted Property is included therein.
That said, don't really care the the categorized lists (also) exist.
