Actually, Bruce, this looks to be *exactly* what I was looking for! I'd assumed that "Save Default X" referred to creating new windows; whereas my problem was getting existing windows to remain the shape I wanted. I did some experimenting with several operations that had seemed culpable: Multi-File Search followed by some individual file updates in its Results window; Multi-File Replace; and Update Folder. After all these the "Save Default X" holds good even if I haven't manually adjusted the width and saved the file at the desired width.
As a bonus, I realized that I also could set the Preview window to be a bit wider, which I also find helpful. I certainly don't mind if I have to reset these after an occasional system crash or whatever. Avoiding the continual annoyance of narrow Edit windows is a notable improvement. Thank you! (And thanks also to Brian and David for advice.) Robert W. Franson > On Jan 10, 2021, at 5:54 PM, Bruce Van Allen <[email protected]> wrote: > > On 10 Jan 2021, at 16:46, Robert W.
