Deck Editor problem - quantity column not showing

I'm using Forge for MacOS 1.6.34.
While building some decks in the Deck Editor, in the Current Deck tab / List view, I used "Toggle to show/hide options for current view" to hide some columns I didn't need. At a certain point I noticed the Quantity column had disappeared from the view even if the corresponding checkbox was still ticked.

Now I'm no longer able to see how many of each card I have in my deck and I could not find a way to restore the missing column.

I also tried to Reset Editort Layout from the troubleshooting section in the Home tab, with no effect.

Am I missing something stupid here?

Hey,

I can only tell you how to get it working again on Windows, but since the folder structures are very similar, you could try this as well:

I know from a friend, that Forge might store some info inside the .app-file.. so, open the app as package and check if you see a folder preferences, which should contain, among other files, this one:

item_view.preferences

Maybe there's also a folder containing this file in your user folder hierarchy.
Then, I'd first try there :!:

Backup that file somewhere, make sure Forge is closed and not idling in background and simply delete item_view.preferences.

It'll be reset to defaults when you re-launch Forge.

Hope that helps!
Remember, always make backups of soon-to-be deleted test-files! :D

It worked!
I did close Forge, delete the item_view.preferences file (backed up), and re-launch Forge.

For the record, in case this happens to other Mac users, the item_view.preferences file can be found in /Library/Application Support/Forge/preferences.

Thanks a lot.
