Results list 'File Preview' splitter location not remembered.
In the Results Window...
Enable File Preview
(in my case, Results are displayed fullscreen, Results list is ~ the 1st. 1/3, & Preview takes final 2/3
[& actually Results list is ~ 1/3, Preview is ~1/3, & blank space [wasted in my case] is the final 1/3])
Drag the splitter such that the Results & Preview each share ~ 1/2 screen.
Close Results.
Re-scan.
On open, Results again are split ~ 1/3 1/3 1/3, rather then ~ 1/2 1/2
It appears this is not a regression, per se, compared to 4.5.48,
but it is different in that % of screen that Preview uses (compared to earlier versions)
[in the past, it looks like it used to default to 50%, 1/2 of screen]
As it is now, the Preview data almost assuredly will overlap some of the Results list column data,
so one is continually dragging the splitter (to the right) to uncover said data.
50% was better, IMO.
Better yet, would be for the splitter split location to be remembered.
