I think that it has been odd like that at least since release 2.4.x. On Fri, Oct 23, 2020, 6:47 PM Jack Slater wrote: > Not that I saw - and I would think that any way a person quits - > the actions are the same. > > On Fri, Oct 23, 2020 at 6:08 PM David Carlson > wrote: > >> Is there any note

Using File/Quit did in fact save the settings so I'm good to go. I do have a backup strategy too - SyncBack Pro syncs 3 PCS on LAN. Does backup to 2 external HDs. And use BackBlaze for cloud storage. I get a bit anal about the financial files so I even do the SaveAs too!! Thanks for all the

Ya - I guessed the SaveAs was the culprit. I don't need to - its just a redundant move to save a 4th copy. I'll try your method. On Wed, Oct 21, 2020 at 6:08 PM David H wrote: > Does the same on Win 10 - X'ing out of Gnucash or using File >> Quit saves > the prefs correctly. > > Doing a save

OK I just tried X'ing out of Gnucash and using Quit from the top menu on MacOS - both times the timestamp on the prefs file was updated. Will try on Win 10 shortly. Do you want to try just opening your usual file from C: location changing some column widths and then quitting Gnucash without all

I first do a Save As (to save a backup to an external drive). Then I do a Save As to the original (desired C: drive) location. Then Click upper right X to close the program. When I reopen GC the same windows/accounts open right up. Windows 10. On Wed, Oct 21, 2020 at 4:03 PM David Carlson

Re: [GNC] Column Width Saving?

Jack, I'm not seeing this issue on 4.2 on Win 10, Mac OS or Ubuntu 20.04... What os are you running on, do you have write permissions on the preferences file which I think from memory is .gnucash.gcm. If you go in and change column widths in Gnucash does the file timestamp get updated when you

Re: [GNC] Column Width Saving?

Jack, Did you quit the program when you saved the file? Do you find the same windows and reports open when you re-start GnuCash and re-open the file? Which OS are you using? On Wed, Oct 21, 2020 at 3:08 PM Chris Graves wrote: > Using 4.2 on Windows and macOS, both remember the column width

Using 4.2 on Windows and macOS, both remember the column width settings. Adjust column width, quit, re-open and column widths remain as I adjusted them. Except for the Description column, which isn’t remembered. > On Oct 21, 2020, at 12:34 PM, Jack Slater wrote: > > I'm running 4.2. > >

Re: [GNC] Column Width Saving?

I'm running 4.2. Adjusted column widths - looked at the View Menu and Register & Register Default options in Preferences - found nothing. I saved the file with the adjustments in place and poof - modified widths gone when I reopened the file. To be honest I could never get them to save in 3.x

Re: [GNC] Column Width Saving?

Jack, Prior to the 4.x releases it was necessary to close the program, possibly with the window(s) open to save the column width settings. I think there was a change for the 4.x series, but I have not migrated yet, so I cannot be sure. On Wed, Oct 21, 2020 at 2:00 PM Jack Slater wrote: > How

Yes, it's GTK bug. I had my doubts. I could never install gtk+3.0 package as mentioned in the wiki. There were some dependency issues. Debian Stretch doesn't have them yet. Anyway, I can manage it for now as Lithium/Buster is just around the corner. - Regards, Justin Mathew

Re: [GNC] Column Width

Double-click the centre of the column header. This may very well be a function of your OS, however, since gnucash is written on toolboxes that behave slightly differently depending on context.  In my context, ubuntu linus (and 2.6, in case that matters), this works. Jeff Abrahamson

Re: [GNC] Column Width

I am wondering about this same thing as well. If you expand the width by double clicking on the edge of the column, it adjusts to it's width but at the expense of the spreadsheet shifting right of the fold. - Regards, Justin Mathew mjus...@protonmail.com Sent with ProtonMail Secure Email.

Hi Is there an easy way of resizing the width of the columns, especially the transaction one. When I try to drag the column width across it just springs back. Gareth Sent from my iPhone ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update
