Thanks
Diane,
The dev team has at various times acknowledged the current state of the app
isn’t where they would like it. But you can’t just jump from A to Z. They have
a roadmap to get there and it takes time and people that aren’t in infinite
supply. Some ‘upgrades’ aren’t really up to them either.

Adrien, answered a few points above.

How is your system memory? GnuCash loads all the data in memory (even if you

Are you entering the transfer directly as a transaction into an asset register
or are you using the Transfer button that opens another window to handle
entering the transfer?

Saving as SQlite drops the file size down to 10mb from 15mb, unfortunately no
