Re: [GNC-dev] Feedback on GnuCash 3.903

Hi Rob, FYI - I've just installed 3.904 in case it makes a difference... 1) Well that's the issue I guess - accounts grow to fill the available space :-) Gnucash has given me plenty of space/nesting ability over the years so some of my account names are quite long eg "Assets:Fixed

Re: [GNC-dev] Feedback on GnuCash 3.903

David, Thanks for trying and the feedback, will try and answer your points... 1) The program default widths have not changed and are based on example strings in code. So for the account / transfer column it is based on "Expenses:Automobile:Gasoline" plus some space for the button. I added those

David, There are 6 different layouts that all registers are based on as described below... REG_TYPE_GROUP_CURRENCY; BANK_REGISTER: CASH_REGISTER: ASSET_REGISTER: CREDIT_REGISTER: LIABILITY_REGISTER: INCOME_REGISTER: EXPENSE_REGISTER: EQUITY_REGISTER: TRADING_REGISTER: REG_TYPE_GROUP_APAR;

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

Good luck. I've just verified that the old (3.x) balance-sheet date defaults to "end-of-accounting-period", so, the first few lines shouldn't be added. On Thu, 4 Jun 2020 at 15:41, mark sattolo wrote: > > Thanks. I'll give it a try. I'll just update the source in my git folder > for tag 3.903

I am on Linux Mint 19.3 Cinnamon. I started using Gnc 3.903 yesterday morning. This is a version I built from git using tag '3.903' on June 2. It built without any problems, so I assumed it was good, but now it occurs to me that all these problems may just be due to a problem with my build. But I
