Edit default columns/attributes in Tracker

Welcome Evseev!

Which attibutes are displayed is stored for each folder in its attribute _trk/columns_le. New folders inherit the settings of their parent.

There’s no easy way to change the displayed attributes for all folders in the system. If you’re familiar with scripting, you could create a script that copies the _trk/columns_le using the command copyattr.

If it’s only a few folders, you can use the “Copy/Paste attributes” from the Attributes menu of the Tracker window.

The read-only folders coming from packages cannot be changed in that way. Or at least, the change won’t survive a reboot.
