How can i backup or save my columns settings

Post by tytn »

How can i backup or save my columns settings? Or restore deafult columns?
When i search with "... columns:dm;property-system:system.recycle.datedeleted;extension;size;length;path;displayname;type;name; ...", my columns going away for next search. Or must i search with "... addcolumn: ..."?

Using addcolumn: or columns: will put Everything in temporary column mode.
Any changes you make to your columns are lost when the search is cleared.

You can use bookmarks to save and restore columns. (Bookmarks -> Add to bookmarks)
Leave the search options set to: (No Change)
Leave the search set to: (No Change)
Setup your columns as desired.

An other option could be to define your Home settings:
  • Go to Menu => Tools => Options => General => Home
  • Press the Select button next to the Columns field
  • Press the Add button
  • Add the desired column(s)
  • OK, OK, OK
  • Done.
Whenever you open a new tab or window, these are th columns that will be shown.
