>From what I recall when I migrated from gnucash to ledger, gnucash also puts the entire ledger in a single text file (XML, though). Personally, I found gnucash getting irritatingly slow (for adding transactions and saving the file; no fancy reporting) by the time I switched. Meanwhile, operations with ledger are still virtually instantaneous, with four additional years of transactions (different machine, so add several grains of salt). With ledger you can split up the transactions into multiple files. The manual describes one way to split them up for each year, if that's the way you want to go. I haven't bothered to do this. -- regards, kushal -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ledger" group.
