If you want all your layouts listed on your toolbar, just copy the Saved Layouts item from the Settings menu to your toolbar. Outside of Customize mode, that item turns into a list of your layouts. (You can edit it to change how/whether it displays icons & labels.)

If you only want buttons for some of your layouts on your toolbar, you'll need to create an individual item for each layout. The command to use is: Prefs LAYOUT="Name of your layout"

I have layout1 saved. I need 2 layout buttons

1- One opens a new lister with layout1 without closing the other listers.
2- The other resets the current lister to layout1. So it's like without closing other listers, it sets the current lister to layout1.

These seem impossible both at the same time with the current options in save layout?
Can I have these 2 buttons?

Doesn't 2 effectively do the same as 1, except it closes the current window first?

Just add the Close command to the first line to the button, I think.

When I use this:

Close
Prefs LAYOUT="layout1"

it only closes the current lister and doesn't open a new lister or even change the layout of the last remaining lister.

You're right. This kludge seems to work:

dopusrt /cmd Prefs LAYOUT="layout1" close

You may also prefer this, depending on how much of the layout you care about. (The command below will keep the current view mode as it is.)

Prefs LAYOUT="layout1" LAYOUTTHISLISTER=paths,pos,size

Thank you. It works perfectly.

You have to disable Close Other Listers when saving.
