Nyssa - right now I don't think I can do anything more to help you. Maybe you should see what happens with version 2.9.
I repeated the tests I described in post #8 with version 2.9 on 3 different libraries each with a different set of 3-5 views - and they all restored their widths.
Two of the libraries have a specific start up View, the other one has Last View used. But they do all have the
Automatically apply view... setting checked. Maybe that's the missing link (although I don't see why it should be so), try setting a startup View. -
Once I discovered View Manager I forewent the default behaviour (I'm no longer sure what it is)
BTW View Manager lives in peace and harmony with the startup VL feature
