Re: Screen shots and blurb wanted !
Looks really good!! Maybe: Support for duplicate invoices to One click duplication of invoinces I think they both have the same meaning and the picture makes it obvious, but some might miss the significance of being able to copy, especially if they spend considerable time looking for duplicate transactions, they might think it performs some other function. -Bob On Sat, 2013-12-28 at 22:02 +0100, Cristian Marchi wrote: Il 27/12/2013 20:16, Geert Janssens ha scritto: For now I have put your screenshots in the images/features directory on the website.

Re: Bug 336843 - Attach files to Transactions
I really like the file management implementation of the program Shotwell, the comments on Gramps reminded me. It is much the same situation as here, some users want the program to store the files, others say please don't touch my files, so it handles this by prompting at the beginning, and by answering the question the user self educates and creates the appropriate expectations. If this would be a good model, I'm thinking it would work like this: GnuCash can copy the image into your data folder or it can import without copying Cancel, Copy Image, Import in Place? I don't know if image is the correct wording, it could be receipt if that isn't limiting, or pdf, I would hate to limit some future case not yet imagined, maybe just file? I also find the Preferences in shotwell to be helpful and may also be a good model? If so maybe like this: Import files to: (default to same location as data file) Directory structure: (Custom) Pattern: (%Y/%B/%B %d, %Y - %A) Example - 2009/March/March 10, 2009 - Tuesday Rename imported files to lowercase: (y/n) I think that using this type of file organization would be great and allow flexibility, some will want less than ten folders for their images, others will want a labyrinth of organization, and others will want to use either an existing system or something unrelated to the program to organize. It would also be best to have patterns for GnuCash specific things in case you would want your image folders to have the same pattern as the account tree list, or organize by vendor, customer, or employee? And finally not to throw in the kitchen sink, but it would be cool to add metadata to the file also, maybe a visible summary of the transaction (for those outside GnuCash) it is linked to with a gnc link (gncthing:thing=eb9a14a0e076e0029bfd2e623b2f2cc8#) to the transaction, the Company name, the date of the transaction it was linked to, and/or things like that.. Would it be good to display the file in GnuCash using webkit? Would it be good to have thumbnails? -Bob On Wed, 2013-11-13 at 20:55 -0800, John Ralls wrote: On Nov 13, 2013, at 5:09 PM, Patrick patr...@setsuid.net wrote: Indeed, a very relevant question. I had thought about storing the file itself in the database as a binary blob, but had concerns the db would grow too large and cause other stability issues. Also, that wouldn't work well with the XML back-end. I'm not sure how to ensure file availability, given any other program or user outside of GNUCash could alter the filesystem (and, for instance, delete the file.) That sounds intractable to me, assuming a file:// url is used. Granted, there's nothing to guarantee an http/https url will be around at next retrieval either. There is no URL validation code in the input phase of the Associate Location function - it'll just fail on retrieval. Same problem, different space. Fundamentally, they are just links. But, to Derek's point, how then to educate the user-base so as not to cause resentment when someone's relative removes the linked files and the user blames GnuCash. In the end, I gave up pondering this further as I wasn't getting anywhere. Definitely non-trivial. The other application project I work on, Gramps [1], has a similar feature for linking media (image) files. It offers some tools for (re)configuring the root path on relative file names along with an option for storing either relative or absolute pathnames and a tool for switching from relative to absolute and back. It also offers an option to include media in a zipped backup bundle. The way to manage user expectations is documentation, which there isn't any yet for this new feature. Considering that I'm holding off string and feature freeze for this, is it *really* mature enough to add 6 weeks before release? Roger it's a widely-requested feature, roger that someone made a public announcement implying that it's going to be in the next release, roger the code is simple and straightforward. But it's not documented and we don't really know what users expect. Can we get that information and meet the bulk of those expectations in 6 weeks?

So the news needs to be posted manually to that page. If some dev has a google account and is interested, I can add it to the admin group of the page although I intend to start updating it with the next release of GnuCash and see if it helps on spreading the word about the program. IMHO it can be used to collect posts that users make on google plus about GnuCash (you can see them by searching GnuCash on google+), to promote general users content (I remember an instructive video for any user approaching GnuCash), to link to reviews on the net or to post news about development (f.e. the willing to partecipate to GSoC). What do you think? I know it means an increase in maintainance load, but it could prove to be a useful advertising platform.

Memory Problem
I am experiencing huge jumps in memory usage with each autosave, usually on the order of 100 - 200 meg per save, it took me a while to figure out a trigger. The initial symptons were sluggish reponse, so I opened the system monitor to see what was causing the slow down and noticed gnucash using 1.5G of memory, usually it is only 200meg or so. My test situation: Open Gnucash, find any random invoice, unpost it, and press the save button. Notice the memory jump. Now post it and save, another memory jump. You can continue to toggle and save as the memory goes out of control. It seems to get unstable around 2.5 Gig of memory, but that could be related to available memory? Saturday I was running r21570 when I noticed the problem, Sunday I uninistalled and pulled a new r22007, but same problem. I thought it might be from an incomplete uninstall, so I performed a make uninstall then manually deleted the folders left over. Convinced I had a fresh slate I reinstalled, but had the same results. Today I tried to open the file at work, using a different computer and different version of gnucash, but it informed me that because it is from a newer version of gnucash it wouldn't be able to open. So I uninstalled the old one, then installed the new version, r22012. It has the same problem, although this is a different machine. I also created a new test file, only 4k, and it has a similar memory problem, although only 1-2 meg of memory at a time, so after toggling 10 or so times it was only up to 60meg of memory, after starting around 40meg, not good, but it would take days before it was a problem.. OS: Linux 3.2.3-2.fc16.i686.PAE #1 SMP Fri Feb 3 19:57:53 UTC 2012 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux Can anyone confirm a similar problem? I am wondering if this problem is program or file related.
