[GNC] Transfer column gone?

Trying to adjust to 3.3 in Mac OS, I was resizing the columns and the
Transfer column in one of my tabs has vanished. How do I get it back?

Resending this request. It really is important that I'm able to see and
change the Transfer account assigned! I have closed and re-opened the
account, Tab is still gone. I've tried to grab and stretch the dark line
that now has replaced the Transfer column, but that only enlarges the R
column. I need some assistance, please.

Try a double click on the dark line.

Thank you for responding. Nothing happens. Right-clicking gives several
options, none of which seem to apply.

To be more clear, you need to either double-click on or click-and-drag the right-hand divider for the Transfer Account in the column headers. With the column completely collapsed it will appear to be the divider between the Description and Reconcile (“R”) columns. Try approaching slowly, one pixel at a time, with your mouse from the right and clicking as soon as the cursor changes from the pointer to the resize icon. Depending on how steady your hand is it might take a few tries. You might try setting the display to Scaled>Larger Text in System Preferences>Displays to make the pixels a bit bigger.

Regards,
John Ralls

Just wondering, since there apparently is not a standardized trick to reset
all column widths in the view, would toggling between 1 line and double
line views or switching between basic ledger auto split ledger or
transaction journal views make any difference?

Found John's response in the spam folder. This actually worked when I
zoomed in and approached from the *right*. I hadn't thought of that.

So YAY! It's back. Thank you very much.

Gerry,

Which of the three responses was the only one you tried?

I personally think John Ralls' has the best chance of working, but as he
stated it is very tricky to get the mouse focus into precisely the right
spot.

If that fails there is another way that requires deleting a file that also
contains info about all your open Gnucash windows and a few other details
that might be hard to replace.

I hope I caught all the changes the Android auto edit did to my reply.

column line. Nothing happened with that.

That is odd, because I also see others from John Ralls and myself, tho mine
was not so satisfactory.

I cannot see on this screen how to search the history to find John Ralls'
reply, so perhaps someone else can tell us where to search for history.

Look through your spam folder or visit the list archive; the URL for the latter is at the bottom of every email from the list.

To find the file David referred to switch to Finder and select Go>Go to Folder... from the menu or press shift-command-g. Type ~/Library/Application Support/Gnucash into the box and click "Go". The file is in the books folder and is named foo.gnucash.gcm where "foo.gnucash" is the name of your data file. Quit GnuCash or switch to another file, drag foo.gnucash.gcm to the trash, and reopen foo.gnucash. All of your saved settings for the file will be reset to the defaults including the column width on the register but also all of the open tabs, window positions, and so on.

If you're feeling adventurous you can edit foo.gnucash.scm. TextEdit will work fine, just be sure to save as plain text, not rich text. Look for "transfer_width=0" and change it to "transfer_width=206".

John Ralls
