Saving column layout bug
AlanJB:
Hi Mathias.
Yeah, I know that: I was just going to check that the structure of the file was sane ;)
Void:
I have searched in where I guessesd you might mean C:\Program Files\MultiCommander (x64)\Config\ and i can't find a ColumnSets.xml
(attaching screenshot, also with version number)
That is weird because obviously the settings exist (second screenshot attached)
And as I was saying I have managed to get my iXaarii profile have what i want, I can even set it as default which seems to apply it to both side... it just doesn't remember it on restart.
AlanJB:
Apologies - I use the portable version, so my file paths are different.
Your file will be on the path:
C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\MultiCommander\Config\ColumnSets.xml.

Personal config is not stored in program files folder.. that folder is not writeable for program data.
As AlanJB say.. check under user profile folder
or type ":goconfig" in the commandline field inside MC. it will take you to the config folder
Void:
okay, i used :goconfig and found the file: attaching.
I had the idea of copying everything from iXaarii to the section with default, but that just broke things, options disappeared and it changes i make also only go to the left panel. This is incredibly user unfriendly.
I would've expected that
a) any setting i have is saved at the very least on closing MC
b) if i set "use column layout iXaarii" it's applied to both
c) the right panel only gets it if i then do the extra step of "save current layout as default"
however,
d) this is all for nothing because it did not actually saves anything as default and the next time I restart MC i'm back to doing steps a, b, c all over again.
Thank you for your help! I hope these bugs will be fixed. I think i remember having similar problems years ago until i gave up with something close enough but not quite i wanted, and with settings being occasionally lost on my main computer. Now i've just bought recently two new laptops and i'm determined to at least these times finally get it figured out so hopefully i won't be back to bugging you about this one in a couple of years again... either that or i give up again :(
pS: trying to attach the xml gave some error and froze the framework so i couldn't type anymore, I guess i'll copy paste it as text:
