Re: [GNC] Adjusting column width on Gnucash
That file is the metadata file, see "books/.gcm" in https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Configuration_Locations#In_GNC_DATA_HOME. One could also edit that file--it's plain text in .ini format--to set the column widths to what you like.

Re: [GNC] Adjusting column width on Gnucash
Another possibility would be to shut down Gnucash, find the file that stores these kind of preferences, and delete it. Presumably, GnuCash would come up with the standard settings... but this may affect too many other items to be a valid option but as a last chance if you cannot get to just the right pixel...

Re: [GNC] Adjusting column width on Gnucash
Hello Olaide, Welcome to the list. In brief, you need to be very precise with your mouse and manage to drag the right-hand side of the credit column to the right to make it more than 0 pixels wide. It can be a very difficut thing to actually do, though. see: https://www.gnucash.org/docs/v5/C/gnucash-guide//chapter_txns.html#txns-columnwidths1 and also a tip if the mouse can't be precise enough here: https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/FAQ#Q:_How_do_I_resize_my_register_columns. 3F_Why_can_I_not_shrink_the_description_column.3F good luck, Maf.
