Over a year ago I presented an extension to settings to how the columns can be defined by user: [/t/17941/1](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/17941/1)

And now I came up with another thing: there should be a button that would reset the width of all columns to predefined ones. Or even better: a button that would go back and forth between the current sizes [what is seen on the screen in the main window] and the user pre-choice

It is simply annoying to have to adjust the sizes all the time. Right now we can click the right side of the column header only to adjust it to the longest visible value in a given moment. The widths are remembered between the resets of system / reopening of Mp3tag and the columns themselves can be configured [and remembered]. So wouldn't it be handy to have one more [optional] parameter: a default width? And then a button to enforce / switch to it [in all of the currently turned on columns]? Sometimes I do need to make some columns wider [and others shorter]- usually just for few minutes / files / tasks. And then when I want to go back to my previous view I need to adjust them manually back; or even worse, replace manually all oft he configurations files [becasue of the vast number of temporal changes done]. And that is just repetitive time and click consuming additional work
