Re: File system browser columns

I use favorites all the time, but I don't understand what you're
describing. If I add a directory to my favorites, then click on it from the
"Favorites"  menu, I get all the columns that I would expect (name, status,
size, last modified, etc), not just two. Can you give an example so I can
see what you're talking about?
