No need, I've seen this as well; the auto create transactions just aren't included in the "created transaction" list. BTW, r15546 added the ability to reset the variable back to blank/"need value". > > Here, I was about to suggest you use the "Review created transactions" > > list, they're not present in that list/search.

This is still true for non-auto-create transactions ... say, those that have come due, or are created in advance. The "State" column cells, when clicked, are a combo box of the options. Unfortunately, the GtkTreeView doesn't give any affordance that controls might be available when cells are activated ... neither these combo boxes or the variable-binding text entry fields. :( > To be honest, I am not too crazy about the new SLR interface.

The Ok button on this dialog will have a similar behavior to the "Next" button on the to-create-transaction page from the old SLR druid: if there is a transaction with unbound variable(s), it will focus it. Perhaps it'd be better if there was a seperate "Find Unfinished" button, and the Ok-button sensitivity was a function of the overall completeness of the transactions; a count of the need-variables transactions remaining would also be nice. As well, it sound like a "hide complete" toggle might be welcome. -- ...jsled http://asynchronous.org/ - a=jsled;b=asynchronous.org;echo [EMAIL PROTECTED]
