[GNC] Adjusting column width on Gnucash

[john]

That file is the metadata file, see "books/<name>.gcm" in https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Configuration_Locations#In_GNC_DATA_HOME. One could also edit that file--it's plain text in .ini format--to set the column widths to what you like.

Regards,
John Ralls
