So, If I understand this correctly, then I can't move to the PG backend yet because it doesn't support all my needs - scheduled transactions being one of the most important needs on my list... I know that I may sound a bit like a thorn in the side, but I try to bring to the table a sense of ho

problem is... I'm a heavy user of Scheduled Transactions and there is no support in the Prostgres backend for SX's (yet). But, yes, I agree, the Postgres backend would be more appropriate for that kinda thing. On 3/10/2003 12:06 PM, someone claiming to be Derek Atkins wrote: If you want this, us

This is probably slightly easier than reading log files, and will handle data _other_ that just transactional changes However we would need to be careful about this -- it should only happen for _some_ backends (i.e. only the File Backend). Perhaps that means we need an extension to

Well, another option that we discussed on #gnucash last night was an autosave file _to a different filename_ -- ALA emacs' autosave. This file gets auto-written periodically as you make changes to the data. If you've made no changes, then nothing gets written. When you "save", the autosave file

Those are good ideas.  One other thing we could do is to have GNUCash continuously update its files (database) on the fly and leave them in a state where a kill would not be catastrophic.  Quicken seems to do the same thing.  I think we should be able to handle a ctl-alt-backspace, or worse, a

Nope. Just like there is no way for gnucash to stop you from unplugging your computer or turning it off. Exiting gnome is outside the purvue of gnucash. By the time gnucash gets told that gnome is going away, you have no more UI. I went to look up this issue in the Gnome HIG, and did no

exiting from gnome

2003-03-09 Thread don Paolo Benvenuto
Hi guys! I found a rather inquieting thing. If I exit from gnome without saving gnucash data, my work is lost: gnucash doesn't stop gnome from exiting in order to ask me whether I want to save my data or not (as for example gedit does). Isn't there a way to avoid this dangerous behaviour? Buon
