But --- one solution is to do things like "pretty printing" outside of 
gnucash. Instead of sending the output from gnucash directly to the 
printer, have the output be a file that then goes though a batch editing 
program before finally going to the printer. That gives you complete 
freedom.


The final edit can use a "compositor" program to get really fancy output.

You can respond quicker fixing things like the exact position of the 
name and address << your new box of window envelopes has the window in a 
slightly different position >>

The default invoice does not appear very professional, and has been commented

So far I fix this by using the default and copying the information into a

This requires a lot of extra time in some cases.

If I do manage to create a good template is there a way to share it with other 
Gnucash users?

The nightly builds are not releases, though you can of course use them in the 
way you describe.

The releases on the other hand are found on flathub. And while not obvious from 
their website you can install older versions from there as well from the 
command line.

Our wiki explains how you can do this:

These issues are currently being worked on. The freeze will only happen if 
there are pre-existing descriptions with newlines in them. That will be fixed.

Also the precedence of matches will be revised to be much more like the 
original behaviour in 4.x.

The other major issue was being able to ignore suggestions, which is also being 
looked at.

Geert
