Wonderful idea, the add-on works well, except one thing.

When I enter its Preferences in the Add-ons manager, make changes and click Close, these changes are not saved. The change I would like to make is to view the Search list 'unthreaded' by default, which I understand should be possible by changing the value of the topmost radio button in the Columns tab.

However, as I wrote, these changes do not 'take effect' at all, if I open the Preferences again they are back to deafault, and my Search list is still 'threaded'.

Is there a value I could change in the Config editor manually?

Thanks for a great add-on!

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (2.0).

Hi Oscerl, I've tried to replicate your problem with no luck. Make sure you are clicking the OK button on the options dialog after changing your preferences. There is a way to edit the value in the config:editor >> extensions.search-as-list.colClick >> must include threadCola in the list of comma separated values... for example if you wanted unthreaded, date sorted (descending) results you would use 'threadCola,dateCold,' Please note that there is no space between the comma separated values.

Alternatively, you can use the 'Apply columns to' feature described in the add-on description. That way you can apply any layout directly to your search results by selecting Apply columns to... >> Search as list in the column selection context menu.

Let us know if this worked for you.
