Thanks for doing that. I have been working on learning scheme and understanding report code better so will have a look. As for the changes in version 5.0, they don't really impact the ability to create custom reports. If anything it cuts down on the amount of code needed and (I imagine) provides

[GNC] Update Wiki Custom Report

2023-04-12 Thread flywire
I've updated https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Custom_Reports to GnuCash V5. I'd appreciate those interested in custom reports testing it and providing feedback because there are still parts left over from historical versions and other parts that do/don't work in Linux with no Windows equivalents.

Yes, I always use File->Quit to quit the program (in fact, I don't like the move toward removing this option and just hitting the "X"). I use the "X" to close tabs all the time in GnuCash... I didn't even know that there was a menu item. I've never confused the tab close button with anything

Yes, and the red button that functions as the 'close window' action on the window title bar in MacOS, *does* entirely close GnuCash - not just the active window while leaving the app running in the background. (this is true of all of my Mac apps—I don't have any that stay running when I click

Indeed, Stan is right, but it has solved one aspect of it for me, as as well as clicking the big 'X', I was not averse to closing the tab by clicking the little 'x'. And while I was at it, I also closed up the side bar somewhat by reducing the character width. I've also 'Tippexed' out the big 'X'

Ctrl/Cmd-Shift-T will get your last closed tab back. (personally, I'd find it easier to remember Ctrl/Cmd-Shift-W since Ctrl/Cmd-W is what closed it, shifting would reverse that action, similar to TAB & Shift-TAB in other contexts, but since Ctrl/Cmd-T opens a new tab, I can sort of see why

You can remove the "X" on the tabs to prevent accidental closing. Under Edit/Preference/Windows and the section labeled Tabs. Just click on box to remove the check on "Show close on notebook tabs". Then you shouldn't be able to close accidentally. Thank You, Gyle McCollam Gyle McCollam

Catching up with this a little late. GnuCash tabs are similar to tabs in other applications, e.g. Acrobat. The difference is that the GnuCash tabs can be configured to display tabs at the top, left, bottom, or right. Acrobat puts its tabs across the top, and I'm not sure they be configured to be
