I thought this should be
different, so I dove into the gnucash code and changed qof_scan_date
slightly to choose the last year for December if the current month is
January. The patch is attached.
I asked on #gnucash and it was suggested that I bring it here since
there may be some debate.
i have not used the program yet - only compiled it - but
if i get a vote it would be for change. preference if possible,
but the "rule" i would use is :
if date-within-1-month, then guess-the-year
if date-greater-than-1-month, then assume-current-year
if date-equal-1-month, then throw-an-error-and-quit
(sorry... that was a joke ;-) )
note - that i meant that in positive AND negative sense,
but then again i am not writing any code... just voting.
getting this correct in all places would be easier if there
is only one-central-location where dates are "guessed".
if that is not the case, then always assume current-year.
also, before writing these changes - id recommend a
test-suite that would allow us to confirm the dates
are working as expected. of course, that is just my
soapbox - so ill step off of it now... :)
