[GNC] Check printing via the command line?

2020-07-17 Thread flywire
Could Windows macro software that interacted with the gui help automate the
check printing process?

No, sorry, only reports can be printed from the command line, nor is it 
possible to make check printing available from the command line  as it's 
currently implemented as it prints the currently selected transaction from a 
register. What's more all of the printing functions are internal to 
dialog-print-check so there's no way for you to script them or even call them 
from another C program.

[GNC] Check printing via the command line?

2020-07-17 Thread Tom Browder
Is there any way to access the check printing capability of GnuCash via a
CLI?

I haven't tried it via the GUI yet. I just became interested this morning
when I had to write a check manually and, being of advanced age with
not-so-good hand-writing, thought about the GnuCash software I've been
using since I dumped Quicken many years ago.

Note I only use it on Windows at the moment (mainly for access for my
Windows-only wife), but can use it on my Debian at any time. I'm not
interested so much interfacing with my account data as in getting the
printing and check templating access at the moment.

I see only one GnuCash module on CPAN, but that doesn't do what I need,
although it does provide some help with developing Perl interfaces.

I mainly program in Raku now (see https://raku.org) and its NativeCall
access will help create the necessary interface if the API is reasonably
documented or if some kind soul can point me in the right direction. I will
of course publish anything I write that may be useful to others (see my
repos at https://github.com/tbrowder).

Best regards,

-Tom
