Re: [GNC] Problems moving vertical lines between columns on registers

[Greg Feneis]

You can also double click the column headers of all but the description
column. Last, double click the header for the description column.

This automatically sets the columns' widths to just the minimum needed to
display the contents of the fields, except the description column.
Description column automatically adjusts to normalize the page width.

Kind regards, Greg Feneis

Keep in mind that in the register view the description column is a 
special case that essentially defaults to use all the space that is 
not explicitly given to other columns.


This means setting the other widths first, then dragging the right 
edge of the description column title box leftward and letting it snap 
back until there is no horizontal scrollbar at the bottom.


Of course, this can get awkward for users that run the program on 
computers with different display and font settings.  Since those 
settings are defined as user settings, different computers normally 
each keep their own settings, but if one accesses the program remotely 
via ssh, for example, it can still get very interesting.

Hi Guys,

I'm having a problem figuring out how to move the vertical lines
defining columns on registers.   I seem to remember that you place a
mouse cursor on the vertical line, hold down the right mouse
button, and
move left or right to change the width of of the columns. When I do
that, the vertical line moves with my mouse. When I let go of the
right
button the line zips back.

I'm using 3.2 Gnucash on a Windows 7 HP desktop.  What am I doing
wrong?  BTW, I have read the Help Manual until I'm blue in the
face and
can't find it.

Thank you

James Fuller

Re: [GNC] Problems moving vertical lines between columns on registers

[David Carlson]

James,

Keep in mind that in the register view the description column is a special
case that essentially defaults to use all the space that is not explicitly
given to other columns.

This means setting the other widths first, then dragging the right edge of
the description column title box leftward and letting it snap back until
there is no horizontal scrollbar at the bottom.

Of course, this can get awkward for users that run the program on computers
with different display and font settings.  Since those settings are defined
as user settings, different computers normally each keep their own
settings, but if one accesses the program remotely via ssh, for example, it
can still get very interesting.

[GNC] Problems moving vertical lines between columns on registers

[James Fuller]

Hi Guys,

I'm having a problem figuring out how to move the vertical lines 
defining columns on registers.   I seem to remember that you place a 
mouse cursor on the vertical line, hold down the right mouse button, and 
move left or right to change the width of of the columns.  When I do 
that, the vertical line moves with my mouse. When I let go of the right 
button the line zips back.


I'm using 3.2 Gnucash on a Windows 7 HP desktop.  What am I doing 
wrong?  BTW, I have read the Help Manual until I'm blue in the face and 
can't find it.


Thank you

James Fuller
