Jabref: Some bugs in preference->Entry table columns

[springzfx]

preference->Entry table columns

1. The _Field name_ is not editable
2. The value in _Field name_ is not identical with table header
3. The two buttons in bottom looks the same
4. _Column width_ is float which is not compatible with jabref-4.3.1.

table header:

Moreover, the column width should be completely removed from the preferences since columns can now comfortably resized directly in the main view.

I have a group for a school project and we would like to contribute to this issue, is it available?

[tobiasdiez]

@morganlovato Sure, feel free to work on this issue! Also have a look at our contribution guide and drop by in our developer chat if you have questions!

Agree with @tobiasdiez The preferences option should be completely removed, this should already be sufficient as there is already a change listener present in PersistenceVisualStateTable which stores the width

The buttons now have the correct size thanks to @morganlovato.

However, the other issues remain:

• [ ] The Field name is not editable
• [ ] The value in Field name is not identical with table header
• [ ] Remove everything related to the width from the preference dialog (but not from the preference themselves)

Hi,
Remove everything related to the width from the preference dialog (but not from the preference themselves)

Do you mean we should remove these things from the dialog

[aman-coolinc1]

[Siedlerchr]

@aman-coolinc1 Yes, exactly the things you marked. This is because, you can change the column size directly in the main table,

Thanks to @rachelwu21, this is now implemented in the latest development version. Could you please check the build from http://builds.jabref.org/master/. Thanks! Please remember to make a backup of your library before trying-out this version.
