For some reason, multicolumn display isn't working for me.

In modopts.ini I have this
; Enable multi-column display (when more than 10 external programs in a section) multicolumn = true


Which would indicate if I had 11 programs, it would use multicolumn formatting. I have 17.

However, later multicolumn is getting set to false

var multicolumn = options.multicolumn && prog_list.length > options.singlecolumn_height;

Maybe because of this:
if(options.singlecolumn_height == undefined)
options.singlecolumn_height = console.screen_rows - options.singlecolumn_margin;


So it looks like it's nothing to do with the numebr of programs, but the calculated number of lines based on number of programs, screen rows, and some "margin" which I assume is to maybe account for a header in xtrnx_head.asc files.

Maybe modopts.ini needs to be updated to reflect what xtrn_sec.js is doing?

Thanks,
Nigel

You have to post to me, but if you do, it's "digital man", not "digitalman" :-)

As we discussed in IRC, set singlecolumn_height to the value you want in the [xtrn_sec] section of modopts.ini, as documented at http://wiki.synchro.net/module:xtrn_sec

Maybe because of this:
if(options.singlecolumn_height == undefined)
options.singlecolumn_height = console.screen_rows - options.singlecolumn_margin;
