Layout View Not Saving on Exit

[PabloTheThinker]

The layout view settings for the Now Playing middle window does not save once exiting the program. For example, it only shows the song titles for me. I can personalize the layout settings view, but once I exit the program and open again it reverts back to only showing the song titles. I have the most recent version, but this has been happening in the last several. Has anybody experienced this?

Which Build (Help > About) of MediaMonkey are you using?

2024.0.0.3033

I'm unable to reproduce. I removed a column from the Playing node loaded in the Filelisting and on restart it was still gone. I then re-added, restarted MediaMonkey and it was still there.

Are you sure MediaMonkey is properly closing on exit?

[PabloTheThinker]

I think it is closing properly. I think the column setting is tied to the Playing list on the right panel. However, I have the program installed on another computer and the column settings for both panels are independent there. So my current computer, the only way to save the settings is if I have the same setting on the right panel Playing list.

What is the setting under Tools > Options > 'Playing' list, is it different between the 2 computers? What is it for the one that fails?

[PabloTheThinker]

That is what is odd. On the one that works I only have "Title" on the settings, but for the middle window I can still have something different and it saves. On the one that fails, if I only have "Title" in the settings, that is what it will revert back once I open the program again. Even if I tried to have the two panels show the same display, the width of the columns does not save either.

Please capture the start of MM, change of layout, shutdown of MM, start of MM in a debug log (step 4b) for the PC it fails on: https://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=86643

This will help a developer analyze why it fails on that setup.
