Split Size Always Reverts to 50/50
« on: July 27, 2012, 01:27:16 »
I changed the split size but when I close and re-open Multi Commander it always reverts back 50/50.

Yes that settings is not saved between restarts.

It was doing that before but got lots of requests from user that they wanted it to be reset at restart.

Maybe I will add a settings about it in the future.

Please bring that back. The column customizations are also lost on restarts.

Save layout as default from column context menu and it will remain after restart

Saving layout doesn't work for me. It always reverts back to 50/50, both horizonal or vertical. My preference is 100/0, because I like the Windows Explorer style. Any plans to fix this?

Many thanks,,,

The Panel Split will always revert to 50/50  but the column customization can be saved and kept between restarts.

No there is no plans to change so that it will keep the 0/100 panel split, Because there is so many feature are depended on having a source and target view. It is the whole idea with this kind of design. And running always in 0/100 mode is really not recommended because you might do things in the hidden view and not notice it.
It is there for the special few moment when you need it. But will revert back when restarting so you do not accidentally mess up things.


Might add possibility to script it, so if you can use a autorun script that can auto change it on startup. But it will not be a default or easy settings to change to enable it.

Thanks for the reply, Mat.  I'll try to work through it.
