Missing "type" column in remote panel

Missing Type column in remote panel

1. Right click in remote panel
   
2. Choose "Show Columns"
   

Expected: Type should be in the submenu as it is for the local panel
Problem: Type is missing from submenu.

Forgot to mention, this bug is found in:
v3.7.4 (Build 271)

...in Norton commander style view

Type column is absent by purpose. IMHO this has no meaning for remote files. But as several people demand this for some reason, I consider adding it. BTW, why do you need it?

I've been looking for a remote file Type column as well. It would come in very handy sometimes. For instance, if I compile Java code on my local Windows machine and upload to a Linux server, I want to upload only .class files, not .java files. This is easily done, because I can order by file Type locally. But if I upload a few directories at once, I might want to delete the remote .java source files because they never get updated when I upload only .class files. If I could sort the remote files by Type, I could easily delete the files I don't want, or easily download only the files I want. Thanks.

1. You can sort files by extension
   
2. You can select files by extension
   
3. You can skip files by extension from upload/download
   

Revive from the dead :)))

I use version 6.3.6 and remember I had "Type" column just after installing WinSCP. But some time passed and it's gone. I didn't change any settings.

I also the one who needs type-sorting feature because sometimes I just need to make a quick glance to find only files of certain types on remote panel.

@zlbb: See https://winscp.net/eng/docs/ui_file_panel#selecting_columns

@martin, got it. Thank you.

But still have some strange behavior. https://i.imgur.com/GzTxplS.png
Type column is enabled but not shown.

But when I just reinstalled WinSCP, Type was visible. I couldn't notice when exactly it disappeared.

Please try the Reset layout command.

@martin, tried already. The screenshot is after reset.
I got it several times with some previous versions of WinSCP, but don't remember the exact ones :(
It's repeating problem for me.

@zlbb: If you can work with Windows registry, please backup and try to delete this value:
Please send me the original value.

@martin, I had:
Adding Type from interface after deletion worked.

@zlbb: Thanks. I've sent you an email.

I've found out that the Reset Layout command does not reset width on initially hidden columns (like Type column). I've fixed that:
Issue 2347 – Columns > Reset layout command does not reset width of by-default hidden columns

See Issue 2361 – Layout problems of by-default hidden columns on high-DPI displays.
