Saving and loading is very useful, especially users who work a lot with media (images, audio, video) sometimes need not only the standard columns, but also individual media columns to get important information about the content (image width, sampling rate, Resolution, length / duration, artist, rating ...), but these can be very time intensive for normal management of the data (move / copy) also a hindrance, for this reason, you can now quite quickly switch between the individually created columns, At best a default columns group, audio, video, photos, etc

3.) Why are there problems with the gap settings!

This is based on the beginnings of the development of Q-Dir, I made the compromise to develop a low-level Quad Explorer and not an umpteenth File Commander. That's just one of the disadvantages of the decision at that time, which I will continue to improve in the future!

Problems with gap settings in all Windows File Explorer can occur for various reasons. Here are some possible reasons:


Incorrect configuration:

Sometimes the column settings in File Explorer can be incorrect, which can result in the information displayed being incorrect or the columns not being arranged as expected.

Software problems:

Problems with File Explorer can also be due to software problems, bugs, or incompatibilities with other programs. In such cases, updates or reinstallations may be necessary.

User Error:

Sometimes problems with gap settings can be due to user error. For example, if columns are accidentally moved or hidden, the desired information cannot be displayed.

Damaged files or folders:

If files or folders are corrupted, File Explorer may have difficulty displaying the necessary information correctly. This could be due to hard drive errors or malware infections.

Conflicts with third-party software:

Sometimes third-party software or File Explorer extensions can cause conflicts that lead to gap settings issues.


Update Windows and all File Explorer to ensure you have the latest updates and bug fixes installed. Make sure your files and folders are not corrupted by checking for errors and malware. Temporarily disable third-party software or extensions to see if they are causing the problems.

  My question is not there in the FAQ
Asked questions on this answer:
  1. Suddenly Q-Dir pastes incorrect data on copies to disk. See attached screenshot.
  2. Why can't Q-Dir remember (save) at what folders I have worked at last? (Just as like as windows does with "open last folders at re-start) The alleged advantage of having 4 windows becomes obsolete, if I always have to start at drv C again and to look for where I had been last time. I want Q-Dir to save the open folders by the time I stop working and quit the software ... Is there any switch tl do so? Me, I didn't find any yet.
  3. I installed Q-Dir 9.97. With my previous version, I was able to rename folders without them being rearranged. I had to press F5 to refresh. This version now does this automatically. Unfortunately I can't use that. Can the automatic update be turned off?
  4. When a new file added, I have to click F5 to refresh the list view. Is there a way to auto refresh the view everytime the view updated?
