Note that with the PR: - There no longer a global pref for popping the interest transfer dialog prior to reconcile. - There's a new per-account pref for this ^^ . Set to False by default - In the reconcile window, there's still the button to open the interest transfer dialog - In the interest

The thing is, there's a good chance we won't know if somebody uses the feature and happens to not be on this forum, which is very likely. So out of caution, I would err on the side of keeping it. The code bloat isn't enormous. In my PR I removed a bit of it, and simplified things a bit. I know

Larry, Thanks for the offer, but I wouldn't want to turn our users into more product for survey monkey. Besides, I'm not looking for votes, I'm looking for reasons why removing the dialogs might be a bad thing. A single person with a persuasive reason would outweigh all of the "don't cares".

I use the interest pop-up on one account but could easily do without it. I do use credit card payment after reconciliation on several accounts and like it. If the feature disappeared, it would not be a big deal. I know nothing about the actual code, but would it be simpler to skip the pop-up

Regarding reconciling. It is almost the only thing I use Gnucash for. I have 14 or 15 accounts in one Gnucash file and 5 or 6 in another. Reconciling the accounts forces me to look at the statements. Without it I would probably never notice if any fraudulent transactions were charged to my

Hi John, No worries here either. I never use this feature and the monthly credit card payments are taken care of by a scheduled txn as they occur on pretty much the same day each month and all I generally ever have to do is update the amount and occasionally the date. At odd times I used to have

John, I almost always pay off entire credit card balances, so I rarely ever use the "interest charge" pop-up.However, I do use the "interest earned" pop-up associated with bank accounts.  I find it a convenient reminder for me to enter that figure before I begin checking-off transactions in

I've often struggled with this problem as well. Another way to handle it would be to create two different transaction descriptions, each beginning with a different descriptive string or code, like "G- Store" and "M- Store". You could go with "Store- G" etc., but then you have to type more...

Sort of. When it autocompletes hit right-arrow to move to the end of the autocompleted string and add an extra character, then tab. That will prevent GnuCash from copying in the transaction and you can fill in the account and credit/debit fields, then tab back to description and remove the
