Re: Paul Hoster screen does not open completely

Since remotely connecting to Pauls computer I can see the index hard drive Artist, Title and Status columns do not retain their positions (Not persistent).
They are all visible just not at an ideal setting. He has to adjust them each time he wants to import something.
He is using an old version of Hoster 5.41.
After seeing his issue I ran a copy of 5.41 on my own computer and that is the same, column widths and position none persistent.
As It performs the same on my test computer I can only assume it is an incompatibility with Windows 10 with that version.

Paul does not run Hoster as a Karaoke Host, he Runs it a performer only and mainly runs from different playlists. loading different playlist for different types of show.

He has no need for any of the bells and whistles that most of us require like rotation management, he does not use Marquee or Singers name display.

He actually uses the singers database for storing songlists like 60s nights, Halloween and loads of others not as singers database like a karaoke host.

Although the column width is an annoyance I think it is acceptable for the way he uses it.
