Every time I open JabRef, the column widths in the entry table is set in an unusable way: the Year entries have lots of space, while the Title entries are hardly visible. Every time I open JabRef I adjust the column widths so that they suit my needs. How can I save the entry table settings that they will open to my last setting? Thanks in advance.

Great that you could solve it, was it the “Fit table horizontically on the screen” setting?

Yep! Took me a while, a hint in the JabRef Help would have been very helpful.
