Fixed playlist column width

Post by hdradio »

Is it possible to have the same fields and column width for all the playlists I open or create ?
I think that beta 4.0.4.2 does not save column widths.

By the way I find a little difficult to adjust the width of each column because each time I resize one column all the others resize too. For example even when I resize the 4th column even a pixel, the 1st column resizes too.

You are right. I had enabled "Auto width" in playlist settings. I disabled it.
However I manualy adjust the width of each column until the scroll bar below the playlist disappears. But when I open the playlist the column widths are not as before and the scrollbar below arrears again.

True, when AutoWidth is disabled it will indeed not restore correctly. I already fixed it, so it will be included in the next release!

The playlist column location and width is saved whenever you clise a Playlist.
The next Playlist opened will restore these settings.
The way how the Playlist is resized is defined by a Windows standard and I have no influence on this behavior.
However by default the AutoWidth option is enabled, meaning all visible columns will occupy the total available width of the playlist. As such it is totally normal, that when you increase one column, that another must be decreased.
Else you can disable this option in the general playlist settings.

I just tried it here and it is working. I have uploaded a video to show how I tested it:

Very strange. Can you please try to delete your file called "ProppFrexx ONAIR.Playlist.layout" (contained in your ProppFrexx AppUserData folder) and try again.
Else, there is also a new v4.0.4.4-beta, don't know, if that makes any difference, as I didn't change anything in that respect, but it uses a lightly newer UI lib version.
