Hello All, I have just installed GnuCash 4.2 on Linux Mint (20) via flatpak. I would like to copy my saved-reports file from my previous version of GnuCash (3.x) from a different computer. I can’t see where flatpak has put this ? Also the name is something like “saved-reports-2.8”, do I keep th

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 c

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 vers

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. > > Adju

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 set

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 Q

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 wr

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 t

Does the same on Win 10 - X'ing out of Gnucash or using File >> Quit saves the prefs correctly. Doing a save as to a different file name saves the prefs in C:\Users\<>\AppData\Roaming\GnuCash\books under the NEW FILE NAME - this probably unsets the flag to say the prefs have changed so when you co
