Add Columns to All Tabs

Good afternoon,
Today I started reading up on and testing Labels and Tags. So far, very useful and easy to work with. My current setup is dual pane, 6 locked tabs on top and 8 locked on the bottom.

I added the Labels and Tags columns to one of my tabs to test out. Is there a way to "add columns to all tabs" ? or if I end up using these, manually add the new columns to each tab.

I search the forums and Configuration, didn't find an answer. I do see a Save/Load Column Layout and was able to Save the new layout and Load it to another, but I didn't see any type of "Apply to All".

Thanks.

This should be possible with a slightly longwinded way:
Main Menu > Tools >Configuration > Styles > Apply to... - go to and click this button, then uncheck Column layout.
Now activate your desired columns on the active tabs of both panes. Then cycle to other tabs on either pane; the new column settings should be transferred to them.

Or you can automate the manual process: just run this script from the addressbar (paste and enter).

Code: Select all

::$col=setcolumns(); while $p++<2{$tabs=tab('get','c'); while $tabs-->0{if(<curpath>!=%recycler%&&<curpath>!=%computer%){setcolumns($col)} #1018} #802};

Thank you. I tried it both ways to get familiar and they worked.

Question - in your script, you have listed #1018 and #802. I am assuming these are the new columns to add; however, when I turn on Command IDs and look at the columns, I see Label as #379 and Tags as #381. Are your numbers something different or am I looking at the wrong IDs ?

The IDs have nothing to do with labels or tags. Just look them up in the list...

Thanks. Found them in the List All Commands. Makes sense now after seeing what they are.
