Table View: Collections column for TV Shows? Saving Column Layout?

[mrmech 6]

Basically, I want to see which collection a show belongs to when I use the Table View the same way I can see the Genres and Tags.  I know I can group the series by Collection, but I just want to see it in a column.

Also, if I add or remove columns from the Table View, the settings change if I navigate away from it.  For example, if I add the Genres and Tags columns then switch to List View, the Genres and Tags columns are gone when I switch back to Table View.

Thanks for any help!

Does that mean I can't do either, but they make sense as feature requests?

Hi, more options to control this are certainly possible for future updates. Thanks.

I was about to open a request to remember my column selections in Table view.  Then I found this.  There seems to be a default list of selected columns, and any changes I make only last until I change the view away from Table.  It would be preferable to have it remember my column selections, or to have an option to remember them.  This applies to the web interface, as well as Android TV, at least. Possibly all devices.

Of interest to dev for dbase storage of user preferences: https://www.google.com/search?q=Store+user+view+preferences+SQLite+dbase+table+code

If this gets developed, it would be nice to allow admin to pick a default look for new users, instead of using the standard defaults where everything is alphabetical sort and just media title and year.  Also would like to have Genre and Tag info and sort options to be able to have a different default, so the admin can start a new user with some of the nicer info features.  Currently all the info is hidden and users probably never figure out how to them on for any screen.  They always are using alpha sort even though the sort button is obvious.  As a result the user has not a nice experience as they could have, they get discouraged that it's too difficult to find content and leave.  Admin setting of defaults would be nice.

Version 4.9.0.38 beta
Admin / Users / Copy settings from user

1. This works for some things.  But it does not transfer Libraries: Sort by, Show Fields, Table settings.  Does it work for poster sizes?
2. The last part is that when a user logs in from a remote location, the settings for Libraries all return to the starting point default.  
3. Can Admin set these options so the user's first login sees all these starting preferences?
   
   Who else would like to have these options when creating a new user?

These options are separate for each device, so no, they are not part of the user settings on the server.
