embedded gnc_report_windows and panes

2001-01-17 Thread Robert Graham Merkel
I should have realised this earlier, but your report window code shoves the options dialog in a gtk_paned container even when the report is itself embedded in another container (in the case of panes, in another gtk_paned). Do you think it might be better to have a seperate options dialog for thi

Hey grib, I'm almost to the point of doing useful things with panes (finally). One of the final things that needs to be in place is a renderer along the lines of the gnc:html-*foo*-render that are required to display guppi charts in reports. However, I'm not exactly clear on how these are suppo

Mind if I modify report.scm to provide a different constructor?

To support saving reports (required for panes, amongst others) we really need to create report instances with options already specified, and thus a constructor that takes report options as an argument. Any problem with this? Robert Mer

Saving pane layouts in .xac file

2001-01-03 Thread Robert Graham Merkel
Rob, I'd like so save the pane layout as part of the .xac file, rather than have it as a seperate file or as a part of the .gnucash-auto file. As it's file metadata, rather than something that fits with a specific account, transaction, or split, it's not really suitable for putting in the existin
