Re: [GNC] register description field width

[Glenn Fowler]

The register width on Windows are in:

C:\Users\#\AppData\Roaming\GnuCash\books

Just find your "book" which will be in the format MyBook.gcm

You can change the numbers for date_width, num_width, etc. You actually
change everything *but* the description field, which takes up the rest of
the available width.

It'll look like this:
date_width=177
num_width=66
reconcile_width=239
balance_width=140
transfer_width=290
debit_width=116
credit_width=116

Re: [GNC] register description field width

[Kevin T via gnucash-user]

i have scanned the directories mentioned for entries with 'description' and 
'width'.  I can find nothing that is specific to the 'Description' field in the 
support files that exist.
again this is a windows install.
do know what file, in what directory, with what content, you modified?

Re: [GNC] Reports blank - after some account changes?

[Nick Meyne]

Thanks Adrien!
Just installing the dependencies with the 4.10 flatpak after sudo apt
update, plus restart, allowed the reports to render correctly again, in
4.4, without actually using 4.1, other than setup.
I haven't looked at logs or anything to try to locate the specific error /
dependency involved.

Regards,

Nick

Re: [GNC] register description field width

[Kevin T via gnucash-user]

Thanks for the input.I have just started using gnucash, on a windows box, so 
all of the inputs are from CSV files.  I checked the csv file for the account 
that I am using as a guinea pig and there are no description fields that extra 
characters.  The longest line in the file is 80 characters.  The fact that it 
is 80 gives me pause, but the import didn't fail.
could this be a csv import 'feature' ?
i will try to use a quicken format from the source to see if the same occurs 
during import.

Re: [GNC] register description field width

[Gyle McCollam]

Kevin,
First the description field will automatically adjust to take up the balance of 
the width, once you adjust the other columns by double clicking.  Therefore, it 
will fill the screen no matter how long your description actually is.  Try 
going back to your smaller window size and adjusting again.  it is also 
possible that is not your issue as it happened to me about 10 months ago.  I 
found that there was an errant description in one of my scheduled transactions 
that had extra characters that weren't visible.  Not saying that your issue is 
in Scheduled Transaction, just that was where mine was and it affected only one 
account.  If this happened to you recently, you could try adjusting the 
View/Filter by and choose an appropriate number of days. Then try double 
clicking on the description column and see if that eliminates the issue.  If it 
does, then your problem is "older" than the number of days you choose, if not 
it might be within the last ?? days you entered.  You could reduce that f
 urther and try again to see if it goes away.  Then your issue would be between 
those 2 amounts of days you choose.  Mine description had a lot of blanks with 
some symbol at the end.  Sorry, I can't remember what symbol that was, but good 
luck in finding it, if that is your issue.


Thank You,
Gyle McCollam

Re: [GNC] register description field width

[Maf. King]

The "descritption" field will auto-enlarge to fill the window space.  Reduce 
the 
width of your GC window, and then double-click the description header?

HTH,
Maf.
