Preserve iNav column widths on sys oper message screen

iNav is a terrific tool for administering the IBM i.
This request involves the Messages screen (example attached).
It is handy to be able to select and sequence columns to display.
When I first launch the screen I adjust the column widths to fit them all on a single screen so that left/right scrolling is not required.
This request is to provide a method to save column width settings so that they do not have to be reset every time iNav is launched.
Also, column widths are lost when message(s) are deleted which requires setting the column widths again.


Use Case:

This is used in daily system admin duties

    Understand the requirement and agree it's annoying. Will be corrected in an upcoming release

    This issue is pervasive within the Navigator web console. I too would like to see column width customizations retained. I commonly customize columns for Active Jobs, Server Jobs, and Active Memory Pools as these tasks support many valuable columns of information. The selected columns are remembered, but the width of the columns is not.
