Okay, I fully admit that I hack around (not in) GNUCash for the most part -- that is, I'm largely interested in the adding to the reports and things on the edges -- but does the engine actually support that? Perhaps I misunderstood Linas's comments about a split being assigned to one lot and one lot only. I understood a split to be a single atomic financial transaction between two or more accounts. If I understand Linas correctly (big if), combining things in certain views would entail either (a) violating the one lot per split rule, or (b) having some sort of metadata to know what to combine, or (c) the GUI making a best guess about combining things based on some set of embedded rules. (I suppose option C could work like the different register views, but it seems kind of scary to me that the register would combine splits) Of course, I may not really appreciate what a split is, or how they work. Am I bent? _______________________________________________ gnucash-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gnucash.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
