It's a pity the default column settings thing is not
documented well enough. I got a good working handle on it since my
early TB! days. Since then, whenever I create a new folder, the first
thing that I do is decide whether or not I wish the column settings to
be like most of my other folders (ie, those that I have using the
default settings). If I wish to use these same settings, I immediately
toggle on the "Use default column settings" in the properties. Upon
reopening the folder, it has the same settings as all others. This is
a set and forget thing. To enable the flag column across most of my
folders, I simply opened one of those that uses the default settings
and included the flags column and that was all.
To implement a global thing would be unnecessary, since
superior functionality is already there. A default setting offers more
flexibility than a forced global setting. At least I can exclude
folders from the default, but I can't do this with a toggle that has
global effect.
