AFAIR, list mode remained after restart. But now it is not saved.

It remains but then it does not ?

I switch left a tab on the left side to list mode, Exit , Start , left side still in list mode... Or I'm missing something ?

Jungle:
I figured out why list view mode is not remained. It is because i disabled Remember open paths option.

Ahh. Yes that is correct. If this option is off. And MC starts without finding ANY old tab data, it will open two new tabs with default settings (one on each side)

Void:
Okay. I think i get it now. What was happening is that as soon as I managed to have multi columns in a tab I would proceed to right click on the top bar and uncheck to me useless fields fields such as Ext, Size, Date and Attrib to clear out the visual clutter, but as soon as I got rid of them MC cut out columns, first in a fixable way, but after only "name" remained in an unfixable way (the columns would snap back to just one after a drag, at the moment of the mouse release).

As for the new tabs, that is quite annoying that it resets to the (to me ugly mess) view every time I create a tab, something I do often. It seems to do that even after I do a "set current layout as default". Shouldn't by definition a new tab be based on the default (in my case a list multiple columns with just filename)? And if not, wouldn't it at least make more sense that any new tab is a duplicate of the current one? These things to me seem quite natural and important, and if otherwise it would negate the usefulness of the quick use of tabs due to the time lost in always reconfiguring. Is there any way one could have that kind of behavior? I believe any new tab should be either an instance of a default tab (which should be configurable by the user), or if one wants a more user reactive interface as a duplicate of the cutomizing the user has already done on the current tab.

On another topic, is it normal that after unchecking Date, Size & Attrib, they reappear as soon as I do "set as default layout" exactly with the purpose of not having to set them off again, and the same thing after every restart?

Thank you so much for all your patience & help! With every month MC is becoming more and more powerful!

Jungle:
Don't uncheck columns, go to Cusomize columns set...
