Ok - I think I may have discovered a clue here to what is causing my problem.
I have just lost my column settings in the To Do view yet again. This is after several days of successfully retaining my settings across multiple closes and reopens of MLO. My saved view has the same column settings as the default (Due Date and Icons) but I have added Parent to the left of Due Date. And as I say, I have saved this and normally when open MLO and switch to MLO, this is what I see. This morning when I opened MLO, the Parent column had gone. The clue is here: yesterday I was fiddling about this this view, I added a new column (Context) and changed the Context viewed but I did not save the view (ie I did not click Save Settings) before I exited. Perhaps it is something to do with changing the view settings that is causing MLO to reset the view back to its default column settings. > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] > [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of > Richard Collings > Sent: 08 September 2009 9:52 p > To: [email protected] > Subject: [MLO] Re: MLO doesn't always remember column settings > > > > I don't think this is the cause. > > I am pretty certain that I have seen the following situation: > 1. add column to view > 2. save view - asterisk disappears [*] > 3. exit from MLO > 4. restart MLO 5. column still present; do not make any > changes to the view; think problem is resolved 6. repeat > steps 3-5 several times until at step 5, suddenly column is > no longer present > > [*] Incidentally, if I add a column to a view (in the ToDo > view), the asterisk does not appear - which made me wonder > whether the columns formed part of the view > > And I have just done a further experiment.
