Can control center column widths be auto-fitted?

[joemiller]

is there a way to auto-fit-to-size the width of the column headings in the control center window? [see attachment]. It takes a while to manually get it right because when i shrink or expand a column some of the other column widths get out of adjustment.

joemiller, please try restoring them via right clicking in your Control Center > Properties > preset > restore > Ok / Apply.

I updated my post #2, the preset is found in the Control Center Properties.

Control Center > Properties > preset > restore > Ok / Apply.

JM:

I think what you are looking for is this.

Double click the lines in the column headers. This will autofit that column, and it behaves much better than trying to manually adjust lines (in my experience).

I have highlighted your image with what I am talking about specifically.

I have unsuccessfully tried multiple times to make ''preset save'', ''preset restore'' work.
So far Sledge's multiple click method is best ... but that is not as good as a single click ''preset restore''.

Please advise.

Thanks for chiming in sledge.

joemiller, correct currently the restore would only allow to restore to our default set widths here for the grids. We're looking into further if anything could be done and how we could improve and will post an update early next week.

thanks bertrand,
not only that, but in my case ''preset save'' does not work either [assuming i am not doing something wrong] ... [i.e.] when i save a strategy's settings, then exit and restart the strategy, the settings i thought i had saved have not been saved?
