Can't add colums to Exporer window

Dear Bernd,

For reorganisation reasons i deleted all available colums from the Explorer view.

When i want to add new selected colums to the view (using right mouse) i see the option "column chooser" but when i release right mouse to select the option in the menu it disapears and another menu pops up. So there is no way to select and add colums to the Explorer view

Could you help me on this one?


Best Regards
Richard

An explorer view without any columns indeed doesn't make much sense.
To resolve this do the following:
  • remember the path you are using in your view
  • click on the red minus icon in the explorer toolbar (to remove the entire view)
  • click on the green plus icon in the explorer toolbar (to add the path back again)
Now all should be fine again with using the default columns.

Dear Bernd,

It was intending to start with a clean sheet :-) and build the view again as desired

I had already tried your option, unfortunately without result. Still no (default) colums.

Any option to restore the defaults for Explorer settings ?

Richard

Just tested it here and it is working very fine here! So mabey you did something wrong. Else please do the following:
- close PF and navigate to the ProppFrexx AppDataUser folder
- delete the file called "ProppFrexx ONAIR.ExplorerTree.layout"
- restart ProppFrexx

Dear Bernd,

Strange if it's working fine at your side :-(

So there are 2 issues now:

1. When all columns are deleted, it's not possible to at new columns with the right click option "column chooser.
2. Your suggested work-around is not working (i realy followed your options)

It's not a option right now to stop PF and delete the file called "ProppFrexx ONAIR.ExplorerTree.layout"
What other settings are deleted when purging this file?

If you need more info like a screen recording let me know

Regards
Richard

1. confirmed and currently by design, as it makes no sense, i.e. add another first before you remove one!
2. I can not reproduce that here! maybe also delete the "ProppFrexx ONAIR.Explorer.layout" file.
But please confirm what exact version you are using and if you really have closed ProppFrexx before you deleted the file?!

Here is what I did:
I removed all columns from one view, so that it looked like yours:

Then I closed PF and deleted the .layout file, restarted PF and it looks like this again:
Explorer After.jpg

Dear Bernd

Delete of "ProppFrexx ONAIR.ExplorerTree.layout" and "ProppFrexx ONAIR.Explorer.layout" files did solved this issue.

Thanks for your support!!
