Re: Saving object table configuration (was: 9.5 with 9.6 was: RDi Birthday Celebration)

I wish I understood more.

Me too. It works for other developers here as well. I may be paying for
something I have done in the past lol.

I only use the Object Table View for source members so I display only (wait
let me make the columns wider so I can see them) Name, Type and Text.
Oddly, I don't think I have ever displayed a list of objects in the Object
Table View.

Since it is silly for any application to alter a column's width without
user direction, I assumed that RDi would not alter the column's widths if I
didn't drag them around, so that left me thinking that (in my ignorance of
such things) the settings were not being written to disk when I dragged the
columns, as if I do not have enough authority to alter some properties file
on my own PC. I don't know, Windows 10 is weird that way sometimes.

Yes yes we drag the columns every time we start up RDi. It's been

several

years now -- I'm sort of used to it but I do curse under my breath every
time. I have also tried saving the perspective, but that seems to have

no

effect whatsoever.

Far as I have noticed, if I close RDi with the Object Table View

VISIBLE,

the column widths stick where I drag them usually. If I close RDi with

the

Object Table View MINIMIZED, the column widths are forgotten and next

time

I start RDi they will be 1 char wide.

I wish I understood more. It works for me, but not for you. I never close
RDi with the object table visible--at least not as a rule, yet it always
retains my column sizing. So trying to brainstorm why it doesn't work for
you . . .

-Under the drop down menu (triangle in upper-right corner--I forget the
official name), for 'Show columns' do you have Customized, Default, or All
selected? I have mine set to Customized.

-If 'Customized', what columns do you show? (I have File, Name, Type,
Attribute, Text, Last modified, Created, and Library. I honestly don't see
how the choice of columns should make any difference, but it can be an odd
beast.)
