2000-05-08 Thread Jan Schrage
Hi everyone, from a number of discussions during the last two or three weeks I am getting the impression that a number of people don't bother to read the docs accompanying gnucash, whatever the reason. Personally I suspect that as long as the clicking works people tend to think they're getting

Register change in 1.3.7

2000-05-08 Thread Jonathan Corbet
I'm curious... 1.3.7 appears to have changed the register by swapping the "deposit" and "payment" columns. I suspect I'm far from the only person in the lamentable position of making rather more payments than deposits; thus this change just added a keystroke to almost every entry I make. Is

I vote that the open icon stays gone. I found it potentially confusing, and I never used the open file button. BTW, when I installed GNUCash, I created a GNOME menu item for it, and added the name of my database as a command line argument, thus completely removing the need to open a file
