Re: [GNC-dev] Feedback on GnuCash 3.903

Geert, Thanks for your explanation but I still don't understand what the 6 different register types you refer to are - can you point me to where these are described? My reason for having different column widths is as previously posted ... "... I have 2 savings accounts and 4 credit card

Re: [GNC-dev] Feedback on GnuCash 3.903

Michael, The idea of default column widths makes sense, but the idea that a user's previously set preferences will no longer apply seems a little backward. I am curious to know more about the thought process that arrived at this solution. I'd have thought that storing per account column

Bob, I wonder if you could write a chapter or section about "GnuCash specific GUI behaviour" to put into or near https://code.gnucash.org/docs/C/gnucash-help/GUIMenus.html Obvisiously one part should also go into https://code.gnucash.org/docs/C/gnucash-help/custom-gnucash.html Chris, can you

Re: [GNC-dev] Feedback on GnuCash 3.903

Hello David T., I understand the point. But I also struggle with having a lot of security accounts and I'm always having to go tweak them. If I could set it once and it would apply to them all, I applaud the decision. I think it boils down to how the account types are defined. Michael On

Re: [GNC-dev] Feedback on GnuCash 3.903

Bob, I still don't understand fully. Are you saying that if I set my column widths differently for Stock A and Stock B, and then close both and reopen them both, that they will open with a set of arbitrarily-defined default widths for that account type, rather than the account-specific

Re: [GNC-dev] Feedback on GnuCash 3.903

I didn't try changing any of the column widths while I was using 3.903. Didn't know about the new system of one setting per register type, so there was no way I was going to start re-setting the column widths for my hundreds of total or dozens of frequently-used accounts, so after I closed 3.903 I

Re: [GNC-dev] Feedback on GnuCash 3.903

David, It was decided that instead of every time you open a register and then change that layout to your liking we could just save the widths to be used as defaults for the 6 register layouts. As most registers of type will have similar widths set, the first one loaded will be used to set the

Re: [GNC-dev] Feedback on GnuCash 3.903

Rob, Please clarify this. I have 2 savings accounts and 4 credit card accounts that I have open all the time and over the years I've gone to the trouble of setting these up just the way I like them. Of course flicking through the register tabs the columns aren't all in the same places as I'm

Re: [GNC-dev] Feedback on GnuCash 3.903

Mark, Yes the saving of column widths has changed, in version 4.0 they are saved per register type so you only have to set the defaults once per type instead of every single register opened, there are menu options under 'Windows' that allow you to save new register widths or clear them. Open
