FS custom columns won't load after restarted

The behaviour described in the bug report is either by design, or would be far too complex/time-consuming to be changed

Are you perhaps using automatic view mode switching?

Yes, I do. It can't load the custom columns after restart when automatic view mode or I need to tweak the settings to do that?

If you have an Auto Switch that sets a View mode for the plugin tab where the "Columns view:" field is set to something different from "Unchanged" or different from the columns view for the specific FS plugin - then it might be the problem.

So open a panel with your FS plugin and then open the View Mode configuration - what does it show for the "Columns view:" ?

What are the corresponding entries in the following sections?

Code: Select all

[ViewModes], [left], [right]
[ViewModeSwitch]
Custom columns view can be called manually as follows, namely
- via the "Show" menu - "Custom Columns Mode" or
- via the context menu by right-clicking on the column header or
- by button with command: cm_SrcCustomViewXX (XX = number of Custom columns view)

View Modes can be called manually as follows,
- via the "Show" menu - "Custom View Modes" or
- by button with command: cm_SrcViewModeList NameOfViewmode

cm_SrcViewModeList can also be used without parameter, then the View Mode menu will pop up.

Thanks for the hint! :)
(I have now added this to my summaries/overviews.)

EDIT:
View Modes
A button with command cm_SrcViewMode0 ... cm_SrcViewMode249 is also possible
but it could be complicated under some circumstances ... [see: Overview]

I got it. I need to set the Default view columns to "unchanged", if I want to keep FS view after restarted while Auto Switch Mode is on.

The problem is sloved, though the default view columns will kick in in this way is a little obscure to notice.
