If desired, you can edit the widths by text so all the accounts match. I like this as after a while you develop a muscle memory of the columns and you navigate faster when the columns are the same. Help -> About -> GNC_USERDATA_DIR Open the books folder and edit the file On Thu, Dec 7, 2023 at

Robert, Once you get used to it, this method is about as hser friendly as possible given the overall register design. I have found that for the size and resolution of the monitors that I currently own, I first need to adjust the display setting to default to a smaller font size to get more text

I had thought you were on a Mac, so I was surprised. The problem was caught and fixed pretty quickly, but I think I'll just wait for 5.5, too. The only real problem I'm having is that when the "transaction matching" feature was added (which I find pretty helpful), the ability to match previous

Eric, No closing it periodically still leaves processes running. You have to use Task Manager, after closing Gnucash, and manually close the Gnucash programs that are still running. That is why I'm staying on 5.3 as well, until 5.5 is released. The nightly builds, I think, have fixed this,

Thanks, R Losey, for chiming in. I did not know 5.4 was leaving processes running in Windows, so I guess the cure is to close it periodically? I'll stay on 5.4 for now – so far no problems that I've noticed. Eric On 12/6/23 19:08, R Losey wrote: I generally stay up to date, but with the
