"Use Last Value" - which window is setting taken from?
Posted: Wed Dec 20, 2023 5:52 am
In Tools > Options > General > Home, there are various settings where one of the options is "Use Last Value". For example, the setting for Columns:.
I assume that these settings in Home are applied to new search windows are opened, and that "Use Last Value" means that the setting from an previously open search window will be employed in the new search window.
But my experiments leave me a bit confused.
Example. Window 1 is open. Remove a column from Window 1. Now open a new search window, Window 2. Window 2 has the column that I just removed from Window 1.
Now, same as above, but I close Window 1 before opening Window 2. Now Window 2 does NOT display the column that I just removed from Window 1.
Am I right in thinking that "Use Last Value" means the setting value is taken from the search window that was last closed?
