Re: [GNC] Including document paths in reports
> I’m guessing that the links are also live so they could also be verified by selecting. Yes and in the current version that's already the case (if the other option called ¨Enable Links? is selected, which it is by default). The L anchor has a link to the document. In the updated version, the only change is to either display the short L anchor text or the long ¨full document path/url" anchor text.

Re: [GNC] Including document paths in reports
OK I submitted a draft PR to implement this. Let's see if it makes it in the main release otherwise I will make it as a custom report. See https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash/pull/1643 for a couple screenshots.

It's the link checkbox on the display option to enable this. Thanks for pointing that out. I was not aware of what the “link” option did and had not tested it. That would be good for seeing if a link is present, but not for checking that the links are correct. I feel it would still be valuable for auditing purposes to be able to see the whole (or relative) path. > Changing the code to replace the L with the actual document path is > relatively easy but whether this change would make it to the actual official > release I can't say.

I can see two different use cases: (i) report link presence/absence (as now) and (ii) report link path. Another option strikes me as not a big deal; there are already a number, which allows appropriate customization, so one more seems no big deal. > The alternative would be to implement this in a custom report.

It might be a way to learn how to do that, which is something I’ve looked at but not figured out. However, this does seem like a valuable feature to add.

Re: [GNC] Including document paths in reports
Are you aware that the transaction report already has the option to display not the document path itself but a mark that there is a linked document? It just shows L to the left of the amount column when there is a document (with a link to it when you click on the L). If there isn't a document then it stays blank. It's the link checkbox on the display option to enable this. Changing the code to replace the L with the actual document path is relatively easy but whether this change would make it to the actual official release I can't say. It's yet another option in an already long list of options. I can certainly propose the chance but can't guarantee it would be accepted. The alternative would be to implement this in a custom report. I am happy to help with that but only if the current L / no L option is not enough, and only if you are comfortable installing a custom report. https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Custom_Reports#Loading_Your_Report Sincerely, Vincent Dawans On Sun, May 21, 2023 at 2:19 PM Brook Milligan wrote: > Is there any way to include the path to linked documents in a, for > example, transaction report? > > While this is not a normal financial need, it would be really helpful for > auditing that transaction information is complete.
