Thank you Derek. I have figure out enough to get this working preliminarily (doesn't that inspire confidence!). All the changes are confined to a single file as was suggested, /register/ledger-core/split-register-layout.c/.
I moved the ASSOC and NOTES colums to the first line of output for a transaction. By default, I made those columns very narrow so they do not take up much screen real estate in cases where that is an issue. NOTES are also output in the column used for DESC in DoubleLine mode, so a wide note can be seen without changing the NOTES column width, for those with limited screen real estate. But for those with more pixels to play with, one can make the NOTES field wider and not need to resort to DoubleLine viewing. (I also dropped ACTN from DoubleLine since it is not a transaction-wide attribute. It is a split attribute which can see in a view showing the splits.) I have linked the diff file and a screenshot of what a register would look like on a 2014 wide display. The code lists some register types and viewing modes that I have not figured out what they are or how one would produce them. So I obviously have not done anything to see how they are working. gc-diff.gc-diff <http://gnucash.1415818.n4.nabble.com/file/n4692350/gc-diff.gc-diff> gc-reg.png <http://gnucash.1415818.n4.nabble.com/file/n4692350/gc-reg.png> -- View this message in context: http://gnucash.1415818.n4.nabble.com/Notes-column-in-SingleLine-display-tp4692253p4692350.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.
