Hi there. I am using jabref for a while and first I want to thank everybody for creating this stuff.  
But today I installed v 5 and several things gone wrong.  
Firstly and mainly the “rating”. It is not by default in columns and I can’t find way hot to switch it on. It is crucial for my and my work.  
I try to run old jabref, but it is not working anymore, it starts up, and everything is white. All entries are correct written (if i click to something) but gui looks white.  
Thanks for help

Hi,

the column display can be configured in the preferences  
Options -\> Preferences -\> Entry table columns  
Simply select or type the name in the combobox and add the column

Hi and thanks for answer.

Please tick “Show Extra columns”

And I think you have added the wrong column, it should be “ranking” instead of rating.
