I can tell you why I don't type it that way: I never knew that you could use it that way. Granted, I don't go reading a ton of docs for programs that I use, the manual is about the last place that I look. I don't think I'm strange in this regard[1]. Also, from a usability standpoint, I'm usually reading it off of either a statement or a receipt. I know that I can type just the month and day from other times of the year, so I am in the habit of leaving the year out. I personally don't really care too much if the consensus is to not change the behavior, I just thought "hey, this is something I can hack pretty easily". I'm also willing to code up any behavior that's chosen on -- gnucash is something I use a lot and anything I can do to help. :) 1: ...http://www.joelonsoftware.com/uibook/chapters/fog0000000062.html -- Michael Janssen --- Jamuraa --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ gnucash-devel mailing list gnucash-devel@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
