Description Stephen Rynas 2021-09-26 18:07:26 UTC
SUMMARY: This is a suggestion, not a bug. The reconcile window has "fixed" width columns and some some fields are too wide. As a consequence it is very difficult to have a bank statement and kmymoney's reconcile page open side by side. (Unfortunately due to vision constraints, I have to use "large" fonts.

Need the capability to adjust the column widths. Particularly egregious is the "C" column which is excessively wide.

I am using Mint. The version of kmymoney from the Mint repository is 5.08. I don't know what you could do to encourage the Debian/Ubuntu/Mint managers to update kmymoney to the current version.

wishlist is how to indicate a suggestion/request.  
I wonder if this well become easier to implement after the eventual switch in how we handle HTML/CSS.  If so, it's then another reason to support that change.
In terms of getting distros to update the version of apps they package, I would think that requests from users would carry more weight than requests from upstream.  Also, some distros like Ubuntu can't always update applications due to dependencies on underlying libraries which only get updated with new releases of the distro.  I see that Mint has released their version 20.2, so you might consider upgrading if you are on an older release.
Comment 2 Stephen Rynas 2021-09-26 21:38:23 UTC
Well, I thought I was providing a "wish list" suggestion. Please delete, since it is not a bug. I'm on the most current version of Mint.
Comment 3 Jack 2021-09-26 21:47:46 UTC
You did, and there is no reason to delete - it is a perfectly valid request.  I just changed the severity from "minor" to "wishlist" to indicate that.  
If 5.0.8 is the most recent version of KMyMoney available on the latest release of Mint, then I would suggest requesting an upgrade to a Mint forum or mailing list, pointing out that 5.0.8 was released in January 2020.  (I haven't used Mint, so I can't be more specific about the best place for that request.)

OK, I see how that should be done now. Thanks.

You could also checkout https://kmymoney.org/appimage to install and use a newer version in parallel to the installed version of your distro.

I had, at one time, installed an appimage version of KMymoney but it took a
bit of tweaking to get it to work.
See: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=420438
You helped me out with that.
For now, I will live with the current version of KMymoney from the Mint
repository.
Thanks for the suggestion.
