After you have set up your painstakingly chosen displayed and width arranged columns in the Main Library:
1 - Goto Menu Bar > View> Set as Default Columns
2 - Now Goto your next Collection and: Menu Bar > View > Apply Default Columns
From the built in Help facility:
Menus & the toolbarSet as Default Columns - Saves the current set of columns as the default set for all future collections.
Apply Default Columns - Applies the default set of columns to the selected collection.
Quite often people, such as myself, want to display different things in different Collections that is why when setting up the Main Library it does not become a system wide "inheritance" arrangement automatically. But as you can see you can copy your Main Library arrangement and apply it on a per Collection basis so you do not have to manually
"painstakingly duplicate the same view in that collection"You will find these functions available in all the pedia's.
Enjoy
