But I am willing to put in a little effort, recompiling the code with a fix, if that can be done with reasonable effort. Colin, I agree with you 100%. I suspect the reason Notes are currently only output on a separate line is gnucash was developed at a time when 1024 wide displays were far more common place. But ALL current columns are really optional (except Description). Their size can be reduced to 1 (or 0?) pixel wide. If a Notes field was added, those using 1024 displays could reduce the Notes column to 1 pixel in width. Heck I would not object if the default was a Notes field 1 pixel wide. Essentially no change for those who do not want a Notes field, but those who did want it could expand the field as needed. -- View this message in context: http://gnucash.1415818.n4.nabble.com/Notes-column-in-SingleLine-display-tp4692253p4692259.html Sent from the GnuCash - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
