Re: [GNC] Balance column Lost

[Adrien Monteleone]

Each account is referenced by GnuCash, not by its label, but by its 
GUID. There are ways to find that number for a particular account in 
case you need to specifically target something in the .gcm file, but in 
this case it wasn't necessary.

Adrien

That _looks_ like an idea, but I would not support it because sometimes
we _want_ to make a column disappear.

Adrien's suggestion appeals to me: add a menu item to restore default
widths of all columns.

Your welcome, and I'm glad you were able to recover the column.

Your suggestion sounds like a good idea. But what would be even nicer 
would be a menu option to restore default widths for any register in one 
click. (this is currently possible with invoice/bill column widths, but 
not registers, though I think that was being worked on at some point)

Adrien

Hello Adrien

Thanks a lot for sparing your time to check on my problem. Really appreciate 
your support.

I did what you have suggested and i could get back my  balance column and along 
with the balance amount in my bank account ! .

This made me think, in order to prevent this from recurring by some careless 
guys like me, is it possible to restrict the width of each column to a minimum 
dimension of pixels? This way we can prevent it from accidentally disappearing. 
Some suggestions are easier said  than implemented though ! And i do understand 
that.

Re: [GNC] Balance column Lost

[Adrien Monteleone]

Paras,

I just broke mine to learn how to fix it for you!

1. Close GnuCash

2. Go to this page on the wiki, and open the file location diagram for 
your OS:


https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Configuration_Locations

3. Look for the location of the .gcm files.

4. Navigate to that location in your file manager and open the .gcm file 
that corresponds to the name of your book.


5. Open it with your favorite text editor, preferably one with Find 
ability. (are there any text editors that can't 'find'?)


6. Search for "balance_width=1" or "balance_width=0" where that search 
text appears in one of the Register... sections.


7. Set it from 1 or 0 to something similar to what you see in another 
register section. For example, I seem to have lots of balance columns 
set to 83 or 94 px.


8. Save the file

9. Open GnuCash and you should see that register with a restored balance 
column.



Regards,
Adrien

Hello Gyle

Thanks for your reply .

I did try that too.

The problem is, line parting balance column and credit column are so 
overlapped, i am unable to separate them.

So when i adjust other columns, scroll bar does appear at the bottom, but still 
balance column is not visible.

It appears that in my quest to adjust column width manually, i have lost 
balance column irreversibly, or that is what it appears to me. As i have tried 
every suggestions i could find.

If your columns are too wide the balance column may be out of view.  If that is 
the case, you may have a scroll bar at the bottom of the screen, which you can 
use to see the balance column.  If you have the scroll bar and don't want to 
scroll all the time, you will have to make one or more columns smaller.


Thank You,

Hello Sirs

In my attempt to adjust the column with of account page for one of my
account , I lost the Last column, (Balance column)

I tried every suggestion, which I could find in mailing list and past
communication, but none worked.

1. I tried to change the resolution of the window and try to find a
double line of the last column which may have overlapped, but could not

2. I try to double-click on each column heading but without any success.


Is there any way in which I can restore the balance column.  with all
due respect to the contributor which is of course is in abundance, the
current design of the account page column management is something which
could have been better and less disastrous by design.


I will greatly appreciate any help on this issue

With my regards

And just as a reminder, that's "one or more columns" OTHER THAN
DESCRIPTION. That column resizes itself automatically to use whatever
space is not used by the other columns. (I guess the resizing doesn't
happen when the sum of the other column widths exceeds the window's width.)
