Hi experts,
When I open the "Assign RealTrack" - page the width of some columns is too small to show all information.

I can drag all boundaries to a perfect fit, but after closing and re-opening that window it´s the same old mess.
Is there any way to store the adjusted view?

Thanks in advance

smallchamer:

I tried mine and it works the same way. I can't find any "Options" etc. to "fix" the column widths. You may want to contact PGMusic by email or Live Help. Otherwise it looks like a good candidate for the Wish List.

Please let us know what you find out.

(Perhaps one of the "experts" will chime in here.)

Good luck!

Hi smallchamer,

I've just tested out my version of 2015 and it remembers column widths in the RT picker fine. I've changed the widths and then closed/re-opened BIAB and the changes stayed in place.

Not sure if this will help, but it might...

1. Have only a single instance of BIAB open.

2. Now open Preferences and deactivate the "Multiple instances of BIAB".



3. Go into RT picker and change the width of the columns.

4. Select a track. Close RT Picker.

5. Close/re-open BIAB. Enter RT picker and see if the changes are still in place.

My reasoning is that if more than one instance of the program is open (or potentially open), then BIAB might not know which settings to save.

I'll continue looking through the settings to see if there is an option somewhere but, as yet, I have not found a specific setting.

Another thought is that it might be due to Window's UAC that changes are not saved. I've had UAC (on Vista) disabled for years.

Regards,
Noel

Maybe Run as Administrator? Sometimes it's a question of the operating system having the rights to update files. Try right-clicking on BBW.EXE and select Run as Administrator.

Perhaps it's the Windows version you're runnning. Mine is running on XP. By default (that is without implementing any of the suggestion here), it won't even keep the column widths WITHIN THE SAME SONG.

If I change the widths for (say) Guitar, then close that window and open it again, they revert back to default width. Same if I open (say) Piano, after setting the widths for Guitar.

I assume we're all talking about 2015 (417), and getting to that window by right clicking on the radio button label and selecting "Add/Remove RealTracks".

Mine works the same way sometimes! I am on XP and it changes with every song, sometimes it works; sometimes it doesn't.
So not much help here LOL

Thanks so far,
I din´t have the time to try out the hints (will do over the weekend)
I´m on W7 Home Pro (SP1) 64bit
I always run BiaB as Admin (due to drag & drop into Cubase PRO 8)
and I run only one instance of BiaB

I tested all the hints over the weekend. Sometimes it works, sometimes not... strange...

Any other ideas?

1: Can you take a screen capture and add it as a file attachment through the file manager?

2: In Control Panel > Appearance and Personalization > Display, are text settings set to 100%?

While the settings may not be remembered, column widths can be quickly resized to suit the content width. here's how:
