Perhaps you create a separate thread for this issue, reporting your OS/Desktop environment and gnucash version, and ask for the experience of others. >>> But I suggest to change the menu entry.

Right, ... and if you enable "File properties [ aka Book options]->Accounts->Use Split Action Field for Number" you will get T-Num (Transaction number) My suggestion now: Show a second line with "Notes", "File Association", and configuration dependent fields for each transaction. Is anybody volunteering to create the full table of all combinations for help? > Regards, > Adrien Regards Frank _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
