@arch4mage There was a function to allow you to rewrite items in the settings, but I don't recall the name - hopefully @blackbird71 might remember it. Mind you, i/m not certain if entries in Columns can be overwritten while the program is active. Then again, I'm not sure why you'd need to do so all that often - does something keep changing it to different values?

@sgunhouse Thank you very much !
FYI , I have quite a few [[ .dat ]] files works for me against Opera , such as :
[ After making modification I hit the below .bat file ]
The following can copy the most recent change of Menu & toolbar files to my dropbox as a backup
robocopy "D:\Opera\profile\mail" "D:\Dropbox" standard_menu.ini
robocopy "D:\Opera\profile\mail" "D:\Dropbox" standard_toolbar.ini[ When Opera close before restarting I have another .bat file to do the vice verse of above ]
The following can move back my backu of Menu & toolbar files to it's original file location in Opera
robocopy "D:\Dropbox" "D:\Opera\profile\mail" standard_menu.ini
robocopy "D:\Dropbox" "D:\Opera\profile\mail" standard_toolbar.iniIt is due my custom settings wasn't memorized by Opera in some occasions which was bothersome & time consuming to rebuild them in case of Opera forgotten.
Same to the Columns I asked , if there is any method I can create some sort of .dat file like above mentioned to robotcopy.

@eeeemc Seems to me the function was named
Set preference
, we'll have to see if Michael (that is, @blackbird71 ) recalls the syntax.. First guess would be section, key, value - though the commas within the value could be a problem. -

@sgunhouse Unfortunately, I'm not "Michael" nor am I conversant with functions to rewrite settings items. Sorry to say, I think you've mis-remembered the name.

@blackbird71 Happens when there's no real names listed - I admit to being horrible at names. So, no recall of Set preference as a command in Presto? I'll have to see if any of the reference sites still exist .,..

The command is
Set preference
and it takes a string as an argument that specifies the preferences file section, the preference and its value.Example:
Set preference, "User Prefs|Client Refresh=1"
So, I would guess that it would be something like:
Set preference, "Columns|Mail View=0, 25600, 1, 1, 33954, 1, 2, 121203, 1, 3, 230400, 1, 4, 21490, 1, 5, 25600, 1, 6, 28151, 1, 7, 38400, 1"
for example.
But, that didn't seem to work (even after a restart) when tied to ctrl / in keyboard shortcuts under Application or Mail Window. You can mess around with it to see if you can get it to work though.

@sgunhouse there is such a function and as soon as I set it up once and the settings remain like that, there is also a fruga setting with a short command to start, I don't use it, it is for programmers, I used it once and stained the landscape and it was great, then I fixed everything, but I don't use this function otherwise is quite useful

@burnout426 you will have to be careful with this feature as it is easy to make mistakes

@burnout426 You do realize you'd need the = sign, but even then the commas in the string may confuse it. And of course, some settings may need a restart.
Unfortunately Windows 11 doesn't want to run software written for Windows 7, so I can't test it.

You do realize you'd need the = sign
In my case, I was in the UI at "alt + p -> advanced -> shortcuts -> Opera Standard -> Edit -> Mail Window -> New" where I entered
ctrl /
for the first field and the command I previously posted in 2nd field, which yields:ctrl /="Set preference, "Columns|Mail View=0, 25600, 1, 1, 33954, 1, 2, 121203, 1, 3, 230400, 1, 4, 21490, 1, 5, 25600, 1, 6, 28151, 1, 7, 38400, 1""
in the custom ini file. I wasn't editing the ini file directly.

@burnout426 nup!
as earlier from my first post, I'm now facing all feeds won't update when if I'm manually choose UPDATE.
Feed list lost in every restart in Oper M2, old feeds list item appeared after Importing my custom feeds backup .opml.
In short, feed lost, import .opml, those feeds picked up once the feed contents, never do it's job again.
I'm going to fix this before the COLUMNS.
HaHaHaHaHa !
