Good point, thanks Derek. The relevant bug report is: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=570011 I did put a patch up, but I am unsure if I've done it right.

Is there anyone out there who would be willing to help me get this report up to scratch so it can be submitted for inclusion? without actually going to look at the code at the moment, in what way do you feel it has shortcomings? provided the report 1) *works*, 2) more or less follows the style and structure of the existing reports, and 3) doesn't have any obvious crasher bugs (by that I mean well tested, especially in a multi-currency configuration and some corner cases, like no account selected etc) then it should be good. As Derek said, provide a patch against trunk and attach it to a RFE bug, or post it as an attachment to this thread, and I'll look it over. A Thanks for your comments, 1) It worked for me, hopefully it would work for others, though I can't tell from here :-) I found it quite enlightening being able to visualize the ups and downs of my accounts. 2) On the code side, it was mostly a copy and paste job, so hopefully not too far out. On the display side, it's nothing more than the selected account name and the graph, though I'm sure it would benefit from some extra work. 3) It's probably not terribly bad data proof so that would likely be an area for extra work, and I haven't done any work on other currencies, and I'm afraid I hard coded pounds as the scale (bad programmer!).

Re: request for help preparing balance line chart report for inclusion in trunk
Hi Randy, Thanks for your response. I learnt just enough scheme to throw this report together ;-) Though it has been tough going at times. You don't have to use git, but probably the easiest way of experimenting and sharing changes would be to clone my git repo on github, grab a free github account and push your changes to that. It's quite easy and I'll be happy to lend a hand. To just grab the code, I've uploaded a tarball for you: http://cloud.github.com/downloads/timabell/gnucash-account-balance-chart/2009-04-12-gnucash-balance-chart-b46817a2.tar.gz (on my balance chart downloads page http://github.com/timabell/gnucash-account-balance-chart/downloads) I think this report will run against the latest stable release. You can simply copy the scm file to the right place and modify standard-reports.scm to include a reference to it (then restart gnucash), I can't remember if I relied on anything newer in trunk. You may even be able to simply use gnucash's custom reports system, though I haven't tried that. Take a look in my install script to see what I've done. Let me know how you get on. Thanks again.

I don't know scheme, but I know plenty of other development languages and environments and this report is just what I need for my gnucash install. Would you mind sending me the 10 second how-to for utilizing your contribution? Would I need to git the entire gnucash build and compile?
