File Descriptions in collections, are they broken?

I am still using ver 9, 9.5.6.0.3937 x86

i have only recently begun exploring collections

the columns shown (Name, Size, Modified, etc.) do not use the setting for the normal folders
is this a bug?

when i change the columns to display to include Descriptions and not show Attributes the change does not seem to 'stick'
shouldn't that be automatic ?

thnx

Collections are just like any other folder: If you want to change which columns are shown in them, you have to save or update a folder format for either the specific folder (the collection you want to change) or for the type of folder (Collections in this case).

Any changes you make to a window which you don't save are only temporary.

The Folder Formats Guide [Opus 9 and earlier version] has lots more info on folder formats, if you need it.
