Hi there, could anyone tell me where I could change the default library display settings ? For example, I would like the ‘genre’ and ‘uploaded’ column displayed by default.

Good question. Unfortunately there isn’t a way to modify this directly through the user interface. I was thinking of changing the defaults to include uploaded but it might make even more sense to make a settings page for the interface where the defaults can be selected - see this github issue page for my initial idea - [https://github.com/LibreTime/libretime/issues/579](https://github.com/LibreTime/libretime/issues/579)

Yes, please, these are the two columns that I use most. Any way to make it so I don’t have to change columns EVERY time I use the program would be WONDERFUL.  
PS I’m not the tech person at our station, I’m just the end user.

So I just pushed a PR for this [https://github.com/LibreTime/libretime/pull/731](https://github.com/LibreTime/libretime/pull/731) - it will hopefully be merged soon. If it isn’t then you could always point your sysadmin and they could easily make this change themselves by using the file.

Thanks robbt, this is perfect and exactly what I aimed to do.
