Havard,
Quoting Havard Rast Blok <n...@hblok.net>:
This sounds like a useful improvement.
I have a minor comment, which might be a tangent: When using the
~/.gnucash/config.user to specify "load-from-path" reports, it will
not work unless the absolute path is specified; e.g.
"/home/user/.gnucash/reports/myreport.scm". If I use "~/.gnucash/..."
the report will not load.
This is correct.. That's because load-file-path requires a full path.
It doesn't perform any variable expansion, and '~' is shell syntax.
So this isn't at all surprising.
There may be a guile function to expand the path but I don't know what
it may be offhand.
Regardless, this is completely unrelated to Phil's sugggestion and
should not have been a reply to his message.
Thanks,
Regards,
Havard

I played around last night with how reports are loaded in the
system. I basically replaced:
(use-module (gnucash report report-A))
(use-module (gnucash report report-B))
which appears in standard-reports.scm, with
(define (get-report-list) (list
'report-A
'report-B
))
(for-each (lambda (x) (resolve-module (append '(gnucash report) x)))
(get-report-list))
which does nothing new, but does allow me to replace
(get-report-list) with a function which returns the names of all
.scm files. This will then allow a user/developer to just drop a
new report file into the reports directory, restart gnucash, and it
will be picked up. Or, (get-report-list) could read the list of
report file names from a standard-report-names.txt file, which would
allow the user/developer to drop a report file into the reports
directory, add the file name to the standard-report-names.txt, then
restart. My preference is for the former (fewer steps), but a
little more difficult.
The reports directory currently holds all of the report files (both
standard and business) as well as some support files. I think what
I will do is create a 'standard-reports' subdirectory to the reports
directory, and put the standard reports (or symlinks) there.
get-report-list will then have a single directory from which to get
all of the file names.
Comments?
Phil
