Add Ability to Set Default Columns, Sort and Sizes to Registers (125 Legacy/Merged Votes) (Q Mac)

@jacobs I agree and disagree at the same time time.

I agree that with the " the tweaking of column widths is typically a one-time thing that once set stays the same indefinitely".

I disagree with "it might take you 15 minutes to resize all your columns across all your accounts" as I want them exactly the same. The small difference sin column widths drive me nuts!

Top bad you cannot duplicate an account as this would be another workaround.

The inability to apply customized column widths to like accounts is a pain point other users share. Listed as "Under Consideration" for years, time will tell if Quicken will add features to achieve true visual uniformity—but it's likely low priority. I agree columns can be resized quickly. But as you flip from account to account, there will be slight variances in column widths no matter how precise the technique. And for some, it's annoying. Not a deal breaker but it would be higher caliber UX if edited column widths could matched perfectly between like accounts.

And — unfortunately for me — I fall into the category where it is annoying!

Happy New Year to all!

I woke up to see that QMac has received a significant upgrade today in that business invoicing capability has been added, this is a major step forward not only in terms of functionality but hopefully in usability. That is, with the addition of invoicing I can now seriously consider moving to QMac with the hope that QWin's math and reporting errors have not been carried forward to QMac. This would be a HUGE step forward.

With the change I now have two of the three changes I needed / wanted to make the QWin > QMac change permanent. That is, I now have i) business invoicing capability and ii) reporting with memo filtering capability. The only thing still missing for me is the ability apply customized columns widths to all accounts similar to QWin! This is important to me!

Would be great to get this sooner rather than later .

Thanks!
