[GNC] My Bad! My balance column disappeared . . .

[rob.britton at airlearn.net]

I found the .gcm file and set the widths of balance, credit, and debit to 85.  I tried to set Transfer to 200, but it will not resize.  See screenshot attached.

 

I understand that the width of the description column is fixed, which suggests that there’s a maximum number of characters for ALL the other columns.  Any idea what that number is?

 

Really appreciate anyone’s help!

It bears repeating: the folder on Windows in which the gcm files live (c:\Users\{USERNAME}\AppData\Roaming\GnuCash) is hidden by default. 

 

File Explorer won't show it, and won't return it as a search result. 

 

The About dialog since at least 4.13 (the version I'm running) includes links directly to this location, however, and you can type %APPDATA% in the File Explorer address bar to go there directly.
