Alright I'm having difficulty with per-tab layouts. in 2.5 I could save custom layouts and each would be respected per tab.
Now with 3.0 the custom layouts are available but it only seems to stick for the main panel fields displayed. If I want one tab to have column browser I go to the tab and I drag the column browser to my main panel. I re-save my custom layout. I then go back to a different tab where I don't want a column browser and it has appeared. I disable it then check the other tab and it's disabled as well. The settings don't seem to respect what I want on a per-tab basis.
I noticed this manifest in a different way where one tab I'd like the left sidebar navigator showing, and no left main panel. I put the album artwork under the navigator on left sidebar and it's fine. In one tab the sidebar is showing and the album art displays, in another have I have the sidebar hidden and that's fine, that setting is retained. The problem is the tab with the hidden sidebar has a left main panel instead and I would like the album art showing, so I customise the layout and drag the album art to the left main panel for the tab. Works fine, but then I go back to the previous tab where I had the navigator/album art showing and the album art was removed.
The first scenario with the column browser per-tab gets saved in a custom layout in 2.5 and isn't working correctly in 3.0. The second scenario with the album art doesn't apply to 2.5 at all because there was only one left sidebar, no panel.
Thank you,
