Custom columns & Search list box – no extension shown

[User919]

For custom columns there are not listed file extensions in default undeletable extension column. If there is newly added extension column the extensions are listed in it.

Not confirmed
The default Ext column shows the extension just fine in my custom views.

You probably have the option checked to show the extension directly after the file name. Then the extension header is shown only for sorting by extension.

The option can be found in menu
Configuration - Options - Tabstops.

No, no. I have set up aligned (with Tab).

Issue probably relates to fact that also sorting by default name column does not work.

Your Extension.png screenshots says rather "Yes, yes".
Are you really sure that you have the file extensions set to "aligned (with Tab)"?

Surly no, no.

Surly no, no.

See http://software919.sweb.cz/Tabstops%20Settings.png .

You have checked the "Configuration - Options - Tabstops" option

to show the extension aligned (with Tabs)


but the extension are shown directly after the file name?
And the 'Ext.'-column is shown empty?


Which TC version is this? Version and bit?
On which OS and OS-bit?


Can you please provide the settings of the wincmd.ini?

How-to:
-- Menu Configuration > Change Settings File Directly
-- In wincmd.ini search for 'Tabstops='
-- and post that line here. (be sure to find all such 'Tabstops=' -lines if any)

Yes, Yes

You have checked the option to show the extension directly after the file name. So the 'Ext.'-column is shown empty.

Please describe again what your main issue is (if not this post already answer it).




 

Maybe I see another picture than you but on my screenshot there is definitely chosen the radiobutton with value “aligned (with Tab)”.

When feeding search results to the list the extension is always shown directly behind the name. The extension column is shown to be able to sort by it.

If so as you said it can ben considered terrible since default columns are faulty especially in opposite to custom ones and cannot be deleted for no reason.

No, I definitely not. See pictures at links on other posts.

Maybe next feature to TC could be removing Name and Extension default columns from custom columns since there is option to obtain them from list.
