Adding and Removing Columns

Adding columns

    Columns can be added to file lists using the button at the right end of the list, or inserted using a contextual menu.
    To add a column to the list, open a menu of available columns by pressing the right most button in the headings. Choose the column you wish to add from the menu. Once it appears in the list, you can reposition it in the list by dragging it to the desired location.
    Checked items in the menu represent columns which are already in the list, and columns which cannot be removed from a list are dimmed.
    To insert a column between two existing columns, open a contextual menu with a Control-click between the two headings between which you wish the new column inserted. Choose the column you wish inserted from the Insert Column submenu.

Removing columns

    The Name column is the only column which cannot be removed from the list. Any other column can be removed by dragging the column heading up out of the heading space, or by selecting it from the menu of available columns described above when it is checked. File lists in other windows may have different rules about which columns can and cannot be removed.

Saving the current columns

    Use the Save Current Settings command in the preferences drop-down menu in the window to save the current column settings. This will save which columns are visible, the current column order, and current column width. These settings will then be used whenever a new list window is opened. Otherwise the changes you make by adding, removing, resizing, and reordering the columns will be disgarded when the window is closed.
