Title: Column widths not sticking
Post by: dBASE ace on March 15, 2025, 03:37:41

I have tried saving, to no avail, the columns are crushed to the right when starting MC or when accessing a new subdirectory.
I do not have this problem on other Windows 11 PCs

Windows 11 Home, Dell Desktop
MC v14.1 (build 3017)

Any help is appreciated!

Have you right clicked on column header and selected "save current layout as default" ?

Also make sure option "Auto-fit columns to view width" is off. Since this will auto change the sizes.

Thanks for the information. The "save current layout as default" helps in consistency.

Where can I find the "Auto-fit columns to view width"? Sorry, but I cannot seem to find it.

Thanks,

Explorer panel settings > Display > Sorting and Columns

In my version, Explorer panel settings > Display > Sorting and Columns does not have the option "Auto-fit columns to view width," only "Autosize columns." Is that the same option with a different name?

In older version it was named that.
