Clicking Update only updates current active page?

    Prior to v2.0, when I click the save/update button, all changes made to columns for different post types, users etc. are saved. However, now when I change columns for posts, then navigate to pages, media, then users, etc. and finally click the update button when on the users view for example, only the changes for users are saved and the ones I made for posts, pages and other ones are lost.

    Is this “by design” or a bug?

    That’s by design and a much requested feature. As of 2.0 it will now let you save and restore individual column settings per type. But I can see how it can be confusing from v1.

    I think by adding the type’s label to the update button it will be more clear what you are actually storing. I will add this in v2.0.2

    Yeah, I guess adding the label will help in clearing some of the confusion.

    But do you know what’s even better? AJAX update. The main downside to the current implementation is not that I have to click the update button on each individual post type, but the fact that I have to wait for the page to load again before going to another post type to edit its columns.

    If the update button saved the changes with AJAX, it would’ve been even better.

    I tried storing columns with ajax but ran into too many issues. Mainly because when you store the columns, I also store the default columns from WP. This enables me to turn off columns from plugins that have been activated/deactivated without messing up the admin screens. When using ajax I noticed not all filters/hooks get applied, and this gives mixed results. I would love to get it working again, but not sure if it’s even possible at this point.
