First of all, I like to congratulate and thank a lot the developers of this amazing software and making it available open source!
I think it has been asked by another user before, it would be very useful in my eyes to have a functionality allowing for freezing selected first columns on the left.
I am aware about the possibility to generate column groups but it's much easier to e.g. see structures with some basic data on the left and scroll for data of interest.
Freezing rows in my eyes is not essential as the title row is always displayed by default, although an application could be to freeze a few lines with selected reference compounds for comparison. An amazing feature would be allowing for freely dragging rows of choice - even possible to save as row groups with flexible sequence? With such a functionality, I could envisage using DataWarrior for entering virtual design compounds in a context of a design set with molecules that have been already prepared as reference points.
Best,
Christian

First please accept my apologies for answered with such a delay and thank you for the suggestions. Unfortunately, developing the functionality to freeze one or more columns would be a significant effort, because the underlying Java JTable does not know that functionality. Thus, I have put it into my list of future enhancements, but I cannot promise to have a quick solution for it. A possible solution might be to allow a second table view, maybe even with synchronized column visibility and horizontal scroll state.
The same applies to row freezing, but there is more existing functionality, that handles row grouping, sorting and visibility and therefore may serve as work arounds. E.g. clicking a table header with pressed 'Shift' key still sorts the table on the clicked column's values, but at the same time moves all selected records (also sorted) to the top of the table. Individual/selected rows can be added or removed from row lists and list filters.
Best wishes,
Thomas
