I would like the column sizes to be the same for all my tabs. I would like those column sizes to remain the same as I traverse through directories (I'm using "details" view).
I've tried the "save listers" and setting the "default" lister. I'm just not getting it. Is there a way to do this and so that when I reboot, the listers (using dual vertical with only one directory tree on left-hand side with two vertical directories listings to the right of tree - three vertical sections total) will restore to that format? Would also like to set so my tabs group opens and set a default tab (directory). This is important as one of my tabs points to a folder on an encrypted folder and until I enter a password and load the driver, that folder is not available.
I must admit I'm unsure of the true difference(s) between a "layout" and a "lister". I have been through the guide you suggested (twice) and also the two sub-guides mentioned within it. My column sizes are not holding.
I have created a "listed", but when I open it, the column sizes don't come back as I had saved them. I can see the column sizes change as I adjust them and then go to "folder options". Wow! Just got it!
As I'm typing this, I played with some other settings. The key setting (not mentioned in that guide unfortunately) was to uncheck "auto-size columns" under the "folder options | display" tab. That fixed it! Got what I needed and thank you for your help!
