[GNC] Register column widths, GnuCash version 5.14 build 1-20-2026 Windows 11

[Adrien Monteleone]

The column width settings are persistent across re-starts, but they are 
per-account. Unfortunately, there is not presently a function to apply 
those changes to all or other accounts. (You *can* set the default for 
bills/invoices though)

If you don't mind editing the .gcm file by hand, you could conceivably 
copy/paste those settings from one account to the others. It may be 
possible to perform a 'find/replace-all' to make the process easier, but 
I haven't taken a look at the file myself to know if that will work.

Another alternative is to use a scripting language to write the changes.

The advantage here is that every account will have the *exact* same 
settings without having to manually drag lines in each one and have them 
only similar.

Regards,
Adrien
