Open a search tab, move the path column where you want. Then execute this script ::text setcolumns(,3); Copy the popped-up text.

assuming your active tabsets are named Tabs-1 & Tabs-2,
open these ini files in a text editor:

Code: Select all

<xydata>\Panes\Tabs-1\pane.ini
<xydata>\Panes\Tabs-1\t\pane.ini
<xydata>\Panes\Tabs-2\pane.ini
<xydata>\Panes\Tabs-2\t\pane.ini
in each, go to the key "Columns" under section [ListFind]. Paste the copied text as the key's value, replacing any previous values.

Code: Select all

[ListFind]
…
Columns=<copied text here>
Save files, restart XY without saving.

If all goes well, what you've just done is setting a default column layout for search tabs on that tabset.

Another way might be to untick this: Configuration | Find Files & Branch View | Find Files | Search results inherit current columns (assuming that you have it ticked)
