    File Explorer Columns - Quick Add/Remove


    Hi,

    Windows 10 user (using 20H2 but that's not relevant).

    Bit of a long shot... but i can't be the only one who sees this issue..

    I want to add and remove columns in File Explorer on the fly. I know how to add a column and remove it. However, every time I want to add it I have to click on More, scroll through a list of a hundred odd column headings to find (if not remember) the one I am looking for and then tick it. I can move it right to the top of the list to change it's relative position but as soon as I untick it the column header goes back in to the massive list! So has anyone any idea how I can keep it unticked at the top of the list when I'm not using it? And for all folders too (not just the ones I've previously gone in and ticked it).

    An example of why I need this is when I want to show Frame Height to see which videos in a folder are 720 and which are 1080. The problem is, if I leave it on, the folder takes ages to open as it is going through checking all the data. So I want to be able to turn it on and off when I need it (quickly, rather than the above method). There are other fields that I have a similar need.

    Thanks for thinking!

    :)
