I’ll be back at my desk a little later and will give another attempt at setting a custom browser view and getting it to stick . You could be right about it being a plist issue. the behavior on my machine is the opposite of what you observed. I set a custom browser view work in that for a while, close x , come back to x, and I’m back in the browser view that displays just about every possible field. That’s the view that is persistent for me .
