Column Width Problem
« on: January 12, 2026, 10:54:53 »
When I open a new tab, The Name column is often collapsed. I have to drag the edge of the column header to get it back again. See the left pane of the attached screen capture.
It makes it really hard to use MC. I see it's still under development, so please fix this.

Can't reproduce that. But if you right click on column and select "Save Current layout as default" then it should save and remember it

Thanks. I think that worked.
It could be that by mistake I selected "Save Current layout as default" with the bad configuration that I showed in the screen capture.
Thank you very much.

Once you've tweaked the Columns, if you right click the Columns > Customize Columns… > Create a New Column Layout via the 'Plus' icon > Enter all your Drives into "Autoload on Path" /w "Valid For All Subpaths Under This Path" Checked & type out & click Add for each Drive (an Asterisk should appear in the Combo Box, then Save, when you open any New Tab or Folder, this Column Layout is enforced strictly, it's amazing, I had this same issue but it's fixed !
Add the New Drives like this:
C:\
D:\
F:\
G:\
H:\
(one by one, the C:\ & D:\ are my Hard Drives, & F:\ & G:\ & H:\ are my removable USB drives.) & voila, you'll never have to resize the Columns or worry about them again !! —Hope it helps !
