Compatible code to add smarts to reports, say one click current/previous fiscal year/half/quarter selection without a date in GnuCash. Using an external Report App/ GnuCash Database split there is no intention or need to write back to GnuCash database. Reporting configuration, say fiscal year

LUndo/redo could be implemented as a journalling type table, where each new row describes the change in state. But then you're recreating sqlite, and would require deep architectural changes. Probably not possible in this lifetime. On Mon, 27 Jul 2020, 12:33 pm jean laroche, wrote: > OK thanks

OK thanks for all the opinions. As usual with collaborative projects, it's a bit messy, we don't all have the very same optics, which I think is probably a good thing! I would agree with John that undo/redo is very challenging if it's applicable to all actions with "infinite" undo/redo. I've

While I'm not a professional, there is a point about undo that I would like to see - sooner than later:  I start to edit a transaction but, before I commit it (press enter or move to another transaction). I realize that I didn't want to do that and would like to cancel my edit, restoring the

Jean as usual the best answer is to push the code forward in ways that you are best capable and willing to do. If they require deep architectural changes that are impossible to maintain, or simply badly written code, then they will be rejected. But if you feel they will be well received then go
