Select and arrange media columns in cut page

Davinci Resolve Studio version 1.8.1.1 build 7, Windows 10

In the media page I can select the columns shown by right-clicking a column and selecting from a list, then drag the columns around to re-order them. I'd like to be able to do the same thing in the cut page, when list view is selected.

What happened is that I brought in a bunch of clips, then in the media page added a description and comment to each one. Those give me hints about which clip I'm looking for, the idea being that it's quicker to just scan down a list of descriptions than to look at each one and figure out whether it's the one you want to insert next.

Then I went to the cut page, and only then realized you can't do that there. The only workarounds I've found are:

• Open the inspector and select "File", then select a clip to view its comments (but not description). That doesn't show me a nice list, though -- just the details for the selected clip.
• Scroll the media list all the way to the right, where there's a comments column (again, no description). It doesn't show much text, doesn't pop up hover-over text, and resizing the field is a pain because the last column doesn't have a right-hand handle for resizing, as far as I can tell (so you have to shrink the other column rather than growing the comments column).
• Flip back and forth between the cut page and the media page. Flip to the media page, select a clip, flip back to the cut page. This is the only way I have found to see both the description and the comments.

If I could show the description and comments columns on the cut page I wouldn't have to keep flipping back to the media page.

The only workarounds I've found are:

In the Cut Page, click on the Bin List icon to display the Bin List dropdown menu, then right-click on that menu and choose 'Open As New Window'... a floating bin window will be displayed which you can customise as needed.

Note: The Cut page UI makes it particularly painful, but you can actually create floating bin windows via the Media Pool Bin List area on any page and those bins will then persist until closed and be accessible regardless of which page switch to.
