Hello. I have created a listed and a group of tabs. When I load the lister, it loads my set of tabs and the column widths in my dual vertical layout are correct.
However, when I click one of the other tabs, the column widths default to something else. How can I configure to retain the widths?
I believe that's for the size of the TAB though, right? I'm seeking to keep the COLUMN (file fields such as name, date, size, location/directory) widths the same.
If you want individual layouts to override things, you can specify whether the layout saves its own folder formats or whether it uses the normal ones. If you want it to save its own formats, you'll need to set up each tab within the layout (since each tab is independent). You may also want to turn on the Format Lock on the status bar, so that the format never changes when you change folders, and then save the layout.
(You probably do not want to turn the format lock on in general, only for that one layout that you want to override everything.)
You can also change folder formats by commands so you can have hotkeys or buttons that switch to a different way of viewing things, for example. They don't have to be tied to layouts.
ok. How do I go about setting it to simply retain the original column widths as set in my saved lister? Can you point me to the right settings area / steps? Also, I cannot find the setting to have a lister (the default one) open upon Windows boot.

So my question seems to have gotten lost in the mix. Trying again for anyone who might be able to help with specific steps needed...

However, when I click one of the other tabs, a folder already showing in the listing, the column widths default to something else. How can I configure Opus to retain the widths as I change tabs and drill-down into folders? I'm fine with the program retaining the same column widths throughout.
