[GNC] resizing columns

[Adrien Monteleone]

The 'handle' you need to drag to resize the transfer column is not 
normally visible.

First, turn on View > Double Line mode, and you'll see a new handle in 
the second header line just for the transfer column. The one you 
normally see is really for the Reconcile status column.

You might want to also (at least temporarily, but I use it by default) 
View > Transaction Journal mode. This way, you see *all* of the 
transaction at all times. (nothing hidden)

As noted, the Description column is special. Adjust every other column 
first to your liking, then drag the right-handle of the description 
column WAY *left*, well beyond what you want, as if shrinking it to 
nothing, and then let it go. It will snap back towards the right, to 
auto-fill the visible window width to make up the difference of the 
window and all the other columns you intentionally sized. You can of 
course make the Description column larger by dragging to the right, but 
without resizing the other columns to accommodate this wider column, 
will produce a horizontal scrollbar. The special treatment of the 
Description column was specifically designed to easily eliminate the 
need for horizontal scrolling and making the necessary adjustments simple.

Adrien

p.s. -"AI" does not give advice or answers. It is an entertainment 
novelty designed to fool users into thinking it is a human or at a human 
level of intelligence. It does this by assembling words into a sentence 
by probability of their appearance and proximity in its 'training data'. 
It is *not* designed to be correct—AT ALL. If you happen to get a 
correct answer, that is a happy accident of probability also limited by 
its training data. (it can't generate artifical text it doesn't have 
access to) It has no cognition, understanding, or comprehension. It does 
not learn. (though you can alter its training data) It cannot lie or 
hulicinate because it does not know truth or sanity. There is never a 
reason or utility to 'ask it a question' unless you just want to test 
its ability to sound *as if it were, intelligent*. (despite that it isn't)
