Playlist Tab Window - Columns move and can be too detailed

Dmitry,

Two things I notice about the main playlist tab window:

1. Every time I arrive to do a live show the columns are moved around and truncated - chopping off the text in each column and making it unreadable.  Of course the columns can be dragged to make them wider and moved to a different sequence - but it would be good if the column settings could be saved so that they are consistent and kept that way - and even locked so live presenters cannot change them without unticking a "lock columns" box in > Settings > Options ....

2. For most live presenters there is way too much information shown on the playlist tab window and the window becomes cluttered and difficult to interpret.  Being able to hide unwanted columns would be very useful.

Typically we use the following columns to make our window easy to view and use by presenters:
#
Start time
Title
Duration
Playcount

We would choose to hide the following columns:
Filename
Intro
Outro
BPM
Rating


And in regard to changing RB options there really needs to be a method to lock it down so that many changes cannot be done by an unskilled person without an admin password.  Occasionally a presenter will hold the mouse button down too long as they move the mouse and the unwanted "drag" action will mess up RB in some way.  Having the windows and columns "locked" would overcome those problems.


Thanks,  Jamie C.
 
Jamie,

1. Locking settings with a password will be added in RadioBOSS 5.0.

2. You can hide unwanted columns by resizing them to have zero width. RB 5.0 will have way to select which columns to show.
