I'm looking for some tips to help me manage columns in Datawarrior. I've been maintaining our small corporate database using Datawarrior for almost a year now tracking molecules' structure, ADME data, and biological activity. Eventhough I have tried to only add the most important and relevant data in columns, I still have a large number of columns. I've written macros to display selected columns which helps in displaying subsets of the data. There are so many columns, that they all cannot be displayed when right clicking on a column header. This is a problem, especially using a laptop computer, since I can't right click on a column header to select a column that might be hidden because the contextual menu is much larger than the screen and can't display all the hidden columns. I can't scroll to the hidden column that I might want to display. Is there a way around this? Is there a limit to the number of columns one can have in a Datawarrior file? I would think that this would be a big problem with some much larger corporate databases. My current Datawarrior file contains 246 molecules and 63 columns of data. I could create smaller Datawarrior files with only selected data, but it's easier to maintain one 'master' file which contains all the data in one file. I'd be interested in any tips on how others manage this.
Thanks,
Ed Fritzen
