Since you can save configurations for the tag panel and the columns separately, wouldn't it be nice to have a shortcut in the toolbar (next to options) for **combined** configurations of the columns & tag panel?

I use the configurations a lot and it takes some clicks to first change the tag panel configuration and then most often I change to a corresponding column configuration too. For those who only save the tag panel configurations, they could still use this proposed shortcut by using a single config for the columns.

If it's not possible to combine the two configurations, since they are saved in different files - it would still be nice to have two separate shortcuts in the toolbar.

Also - maybe the current configuration used could be displayed at the top in the window title?

I meant a shortcut in the **toolbar** of course, _under_ the main menu!

I have no idea why I wrote main menu before, it's a case of "think A - write B"...

I have edited the post above to have the correct term.

I came here today to ask this exact question. I would LOVE a toolbar button/buttons (or even a drop down menu) to call different column configurations.

As a (better?) alternative, I've also made this suggestion:

> I like the context menu in the tag panel where you can tick/untick the desired fields. I wonder if ticking could be implemented for loading the tag panels as well? And why not take it one step further by automating the saving of tag panels? It would be really neat if you could tick in the context menu to swap panel without losing your settings in the previous panel. (Currently, you have to save the previous panel before loading a new one.) But even without automatic saving, just the ticking to…
