Changes for v1.31

• Fix protocols.ini entry for Pause Protocol

• Add support for EFC5 display and editing for those remotes that use it.
• Added Denon-K and fixed protocol notes that had become wrong when Panasonic Combo2 was renamed. (thanks johnsfine)

Greg. I like the way you did the column size so it can't get too small by limiting the minimum size to the text that is in the heading. Funny but I always wondered why we didn't allow sizing on certain columns. I hope it solves John's problem.

I'm now on a different computer, which I'm more confident had RM working right before my recent upgrade of Java. It has the same problem. The initial size of the column is much narrower than the heading text (in two of the four choices for look and feel).

Then I got the new RM, which makes no difference to that problem BUT it now lets me resize columns so at least I can make it usable.

I assume that width isn't stored anywhere across runs. I closed and reopened RM and needed to adjust column width again.

Greg, did you try more than one look and feel choice in determining you can't duplicate the problem? I can't think what might be similar between my two computers to explain the failure I have on two computers but you and Nils apparently don't have.

More details:

The "Metal" look and feel is getting a smaller font than the others.

The minimum width for Name, EFC, and OBC (and initial width for EFC and OBC) is the width needed for the heading in that smallest font, even if the current look and feel uses a larger font.

I'm a little more confused about what happened to the hex column. I think that was different/worse on the other computer.

I don't recall noticing what font sizes were used by each Look and feel before I upgraded to the new Java. I assume the Java upgrade process tweaked some look and feel details, but I don't really know.

I don't currently recalculate preferred and minumum column sizes when the look and feel changes. That's an easy enough change.

RM doesn't save the column sizes anywhere. It's actually pretty bad about it. The column sized will revert even if you switch to a different tab and back. I'll have to look at improving that.
