This issue has been discussed/appointed several times at this forum. The mainly idea is to have saved several dispositions of the interface, similar to custom columns. But taking in count the next modes:
Windows divider, mode view (brief, full, thumbnails, comments...), Quick view, separate tree, vertical/horizontal arrangement, color by file type (enable/disable), order of files, perhaps opened tabs too, and some item more.
The previous settings could be saved in [CustomLayouts], and same settings used for commented options above, could be stored under layout1, layout 2, etc.
For load the custom layout, TC should load such settings inside LayoutX on fly without restart the program.
I know that this is difficult add to TC 7.5 at the last minute, but it could be considered for future versions 8.0, 8.5 or above.
The brainstorm is opened.
Ideas: Custom layouts (again)

Hello Lefteous,
Initially when I searched for similar request at forum, I didn't find anything. I found several post, of course, but all were merged with more different ideas in same thread.
As you said, I thought in resurrect and old post too. But I had to decide between resurrect an old post (from 2 years ago) or write a new one.
I chose to write a new post for "isolate" this feature and give a general idea/suggestion of implementation.
Searching more deeply (in about 156.000 posts), I found this thread which is similar to the mine, where I share opinions too.
Anyway, I know that if a person resurrect a very old post, then other man will ask...: why...?
That was the reason
Regards.

Hello Sombra,brainstorm
my workaround is to start the TC with different wincmd.ini files.
But that is quite uncomfortabel, you have to save the current settings with a different name of the wincmd.ini and create a starter with that .ini.
As far as I know you are a plugin author...
.(I am not a programmer for that puposes)I suggested not long ago to make a managing system as a plugin for that custom settings! That means: create different wincmn.ini 's based on the current settings and make a starting system for TC with the choice of different wincmd.ini 's
