How does saving work with the database back-end? I think I would want GnuCash set up so that every time I enter a financial transaction (or add an account, or a price, or whatever) the database would be changed immediately. In that case, "File > Save" would be a no-op, autosaving wouldn't be useful, and GnuCash doesn't maintain backups.
If that is so, I would like the file back-end to work the same way: every change is saved immediately, and "File > Save" is unnecessary. And keep no backups; I (should) back up all my files, when and as necessary. Just give me a good Undo! In fact, I agree with Matthew Thomas (http://mpt.phrasewise.com/stories/storyReader$374): having to save data is interface cruft, and we'd be better off without it. Giving GnuCash a cruftless interface would be a lot of work. For instance, the file back-end might need rewriting to allow incremental saves. But maybe it's something to think about for version 2.0? _______________________________________________ gnucash-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gnucash.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
