[GNC] Column Width Saving?

[David H]

Jack,

I'm not seeing this issue on 4.2 on Win 10, Mac OS or Ubuntu 20.04...

What os are you running on, do you have write permissions on the
preferences file which I think from memory is <gnucash file
name>.gnucash.gcm.  If you go in and change column widths in Gnucash does
the file timestamp get updated when you QUIT Gnucash - not sure if it gets
updated when you just save the file - doesn't look like it seems like you
have to actually QUIT Gnucash to have these saved ?

See wiki for config file locations -

Cheers David H.
