I had two links in the previous post and one was a .png file. > Especially since your post suggested that you would make that change the > default. I would make having a NOTE field in SingleLine mode the default. The question is how wide would it be (a very low width like 2px effectively turns it off). Until somebody gets serious about incorporating that into the code, there is no point in addressing what width is best. I am open to suggestions. > All of > these are extremely short compared to my typical entries, ... most > operating systems default to that low res As I said, different users operating under different circumstances. Many of my entries come from information downloaded from things like financial institutions and they are short. And I don't know what OSes you are using, not my experience. But that is why flexibility is important. > the register layout in GnuCash has seemingly become a sacred cow of > sorts over the years, partly because the code to implement it is > extraordinarily complex I have struggled with understanding various parts of gnucash code. But this particular aspect of it I found quite straightforward. Now there are some types of usage I have not tested because I made the changes for me and had no call to do exhaustive testing on things I do not use. But from what I have seen, it is a very simple change. Just changing a whole bunch of lines in one file that were like this (what was in column 3 is not in column 5). *gnc_table_layout_set_cell (layout, curs, MXFRM_CELL, 0, 3);* To this. * gnc_table_layout_set_cell (layout, curs, MXFRM_CELL, 0, 5);* > would you be able to develop the code > and test it? The code is already developed. I have been using it for 3 years. For production use it would need production testing and I would be willing to help with that. But as they say, the worst person to test some code is the person who wrote it. I would need to learn much more about gnucash testing protocols. (If the gnucash team is interested in my involvement, I would be happy to share my expertise and experience qualifications in the field.) -- Sent from: http://gnucash.1415818.n4.nabble.com/GnuCash-User-f1415819.html _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
