defining account default column sizes
mmk. didn't spot anything in the faq/archives about this. on a sidenote - only making the archives viewable at 10 posts per page is near useless IMHO. need the option to view at least 50 at a time. anyway. the properties for each folder has an 'Use the account default column settings' checkbox. exactly how though, does one specify the account default column settings? my problem is i want the column layout to look the same across all folders, but i can see no other way to achieve that without manually setting up every folder. anyone?

Re[2]: defining account default column sizes
ahh. not the most intuitive way to do it IMO. 'account default settings' has the implication that one needs to set specific defaults a label on the properties page above the checkbox - worded properly - would be something to consider adding. recieved: 3/08/2003 8:47 p.m. Just change any one of the folders flagged as following the default settings.

There are actually two different default column settings. One for threaded view and one for unthreaded. Just to add to the confusion. Or, more precisely, one for each of the five threading styles, including None. Defaults also seem to have a scope limited to the current account. -- zParticle Current version is 1.62r | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Been doing this since I began using TB! There are actually two different default column settings. One for threaded view and one for unthreaded. Just to add to the confusion. Add me to the confused. As I read this you're saying that column settings can be set up so there is a default for a threaded presentation, and a different default for non-threaded presentations. How, specifically, would one implement this? As an example, I would like to have folders of emails unthreaded, but with a uniform column arrangement across those folders. I would also like to have all my (many) mailing list folders with a uniform column arrangement across those folders, but with threading by either reference or subject implemented. Can this be done? How? -- Dave Goodman The Bat! v1.61 Windows 98 4.10 A Current version is 1.62r | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

DG Can this be done? How? Not really, because you are only given one Default column settings per account. Of course, you could have an account for lists and an account for the others. One of these accounts need only be a dummy account as a filter target. Other than that, just use Alt-1 threading for the most part and switch to unthreaded with Alt-0 on demand. - -- Cheers -- .\\arck D Pearlstone -- List moderator TB! v2.0 Beta/1 on Windows XP 5.1.2600 Service Pack 1 -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: PGPsdk version 1.7.1 (C) 1997-1999 Network Associates, Inc. and its affiliated companies. iQA/AwUBPy18rDnkJKuSnc2gEQLoxgCfWdOnH63Qm/S2/MHYkPNpmoQo280An3iU ZwEe54TLwB9cI+G3d5CEY96b =CM/U -END PGP SIGNATURE- Current version is 1.62r | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

But I read into your original remark more than was there; namely that one could have truly independent column/sort settings for unthreaded vs. threaded (of various kinds) folders, without selecting the threading mode as one entered each folder. Apparently not so. Stefan Tanurkov threw out this teaser a few days ago: It is also planned to make it possible to define various views (based on combination of the settings from the View menu) and switch between them quickly... Perhaps this will address some of these issues. Or perhaps wishful thinking... :) -- Dave Goodman The Bat! v1.61 Windows 98 4.10 A Current version is 1.62r | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
