JimmXinu - My bottom line is that I don't want the the specification of Views to be changed other than by me changing them in the configuration dialogues.
For one-off ad-hoc tasks I sometimes use the Sort By option in the book list context menu. When I finish the task I reinstate the View I was using and I expect the sort order I originally specified when configuring that View to be used.
Sometimes I
inadvertently click on a header and it becomes the primary sort key, so I have to reload the View I was using. Once again I expect the sort order I originally specified when configuring that View be used. As I've said before: If I could, I'd disable the header-click sort feature.
Same with horizontal order of columns, to facilitate a one-off, ad-hoc task I occasionally drag columns into different positions, show/hide columns, and alter column widths -- this is when I'm most likely to do an inadvertent header-click sort. I wouldn't want any of that to affect the columns selected or their horizontal order in the View specification.
I must admit to having difficulty finding the motivation to test the new version. I don't need any of the features that have been added over the past couple of years, but I do want the existing features to continue working as they did in version 1.3.2 -- even if they don't work as intended. It is often the case that what one person regards as a bug, another person will regard as a feature
As time passes I find I'm sticking with what works more and more. I haven't updated my file manager for 4 years, or Firefox since version 54, and I'm using the version 2 calibre-server etc, etc.
