Don, regarding this issue:
Borut: So, if I have a paper folder in one tab and switch to some other tab (with a normal folder), the path column should go away.
Don: Well, it should work now as you want it, doesn't it?
Borut: Nope. Only in Fresh it seems to do it as expected.
my further investigation shows that
RememberListSettingsPerTabApply=3 could be the culprit. Factory is, I think, RememberListSettingsPerTabApply=15.
I believe I really need 3, but it should - in my view - not apply to this case with paper/path column.

No, this does not repro it neither.

It does at my place. These are the only differences to factory:
Code: Select all
WinState=2
WinStatePrev=2
StartPath=C:\
StartPathExpanded=0
LastFocus=L
Pane=1
Toolbar=paper,back,fore,up,mru,-,myco,newfolder,find,openwith,cucopy,-,copy,cut,paste,del,-,undo,redo,-,tpt,cbx,tsf,visualfilter,-,flatview,views,minitree,dp,dp12,-,qns,fp,cofi,icf,-,conf
RememberListSettingsPerTabApply=3
PFForcePathColumn=1
[LookIn]
Count=0
LookIn0=C:\
[mruBrowse]
Latest=4
Count=4
1=Computer
2=Desktop
3=paper:Test
4=C:\
I start it with this, than add one or two tabs, open paper in one of them and... have a path column in all existing tabs and all that I create afterwards.

Borut, don't you have a related FVS you left there by chance?

Thank you Borut,
this brought the following improvement:
After setting "RememberListSettingsPerTabApply=3" I now get the path-col every time I call up a paper folder from a tab with regular folders. But not when I call the second paper right after the first (in the same tab).

What was your value for RememberListSettingsPerTabApply before?

That's a good question, Don - I just copied Borut's line and pasted it over mine. All I remember, it was definitely in the 2-digit range.
What does this setting do, anyway?

I believe that for my effects to be seen it suffices to uncheck Configuration > Styles > Applyto... > Column layout. "Remember list settings per tab" is checked at my place.

Hm, - played around with combinations of both settings - makes no difference.

A different issue: path variables aren't resolved in paper folders.
Consider this testPF.txt
Code: Select all
%USERPROFILE%\Documents
<xyscripts>
C:\Users

How did you get them in there? Manual editing?

That isn't a feature. Not paperish enough.

Just for my private notes: Are there any requirements for the encoding, you know, all that jazz about Ansi, UTF BOM etc?
Some programs spit out resource packlists that contain everything used in a project, sampler waves, mixer automation directives, effect settings, knob positions, sticky notes, plugin templates ... it would be awesome to abuse such lists as a switchboard, or for selective backups.

The files are expected to be UTF-16LE BOM (and they are written in this format when saved), but normal ASCII should work as well. Maybe even UTF-8. Try it...

afaik, XY removes unnecessary data from the paper folder txt by default.

I just tested with several encodings, opened fine. (Notepad2 works great for switching encodings!)
