Re: [GNC-dev] Feedback on GnuCash 3.903

Hi Rob, FYI - I've just installed 3.904 in case it makes a difference... 1) Well that's the issue I guess - accounts grow to fill the available space :-) Gnucash has given me plenty of space/nesting ability over the years so some of my account names are quite long eg "Assets:Fixed Assets:Superann

David, Thanks for trying and the feedback, will try and answer your points... 1) The program default widths have not changed and are based on example strings in code. So for the account / transfer column it is based on "Expenses:Automobile:Gasoline" plus some space for the button. I added those acc

Geert, Thanks for your explanation but I still don't understand what the 6 different register types you refer to are - can you point me to where these are described? My reason for having different column widths is as previously posted ... "... I have 2 savings accounts and 4 credit card accounts

Hi Mark The reports for balance-sheet and income-statement were replaced with the multicolumn ones. See the release notes. This was described in devel a few weeks/months ago. Try the following patch which will reduce the discrepancy in the default options between old and new. You may be able to m
