Page 16 of the manual describes how to edit (add to) the Columns displayed on the right side of the Equipment Filter Window. It says "The information about each car displayed in the filter list is controlled by a file called YardMasterFilterColumnDefs.txt. In this file you can define which fields of the equipment are displayed, column title, how wide the column should be and the font name, font size and style (plain, bold, italic, or bold/italic). You can edit the filter columns using the Filter Columns menu option on the Misc menu."
I did this and added the Name line from the WAG or ENG file to be displayed. The Column was added to the Window but no data was displayed for any of my rolling stock. I closed YM and reopened it. Same problem column is there but no data displayed. Here is the contents of my YardMasterFilterColumnDefs.txt file:
_cartype Type 70 Arial 12 0
_carsubtype Sub Type 80 Arial 12 0
_rr RR 60 Arial 12 0
_carnumber Car # 60 Arial 12 0
_contents Commodity 100 Arial 12 0
_loaded Load 50 Arial 12 0
_name Name Field 300 Arial 12 0
Why is nothing showing? Also when I double click to display a WAG/ENG Equipment Editor Window only a very few have any information in the WAG Name field. I know for certain that ALL my WAG/ENGs have data in their Name lines as I have edited every one of them. Why is YM not reading that info and how do I get it added to the Equipment Editor Window as that field appears to be restricted?
Having the Name line info showing on the Equipment Editor Window is critical because that is the MAJOR source of information for filling in the other YM data fields such as Type, era, number, source, etc.
