I don't think you need to be able to tie it a specific set of entries or anything. I mostly use the comment feature of RCS to state what I did this session and remind me what I might need to do next time along. Since RCS also ties a date to each session, It's also easy for me to check the last time I actually did anything within gnucash. This last thing is more a curiosity satisfier than anything else, since I often find myself sitting here for days, weeks, months, without realizing I haven't spent any time doing my finances. Occasionally I'll ask myself when was the last time I did anything, and I can easily check the RCS logs for the date stamp. Not a major thing and I'd obviously be able to live without it :) What could be done though, getting back the 'session log' idea is just provide a widget which allowed entering free form text. That entry would get date/time stamped. It could just be another table within the database. Additionally, when someone went to import/export ascii text, the widget could pop up requesting a comment. (of course, auto-pop-up widgets should be user configurable so they can be set to never, ever appear again should the user hate this idea :) Just some random thoughts. -- Seeya, Paul _______________________________________________ gnucash-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gnucash.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
