That to me would imply that the way "close the books" is done now isn't an urgent candidate for tuning. Probably it would be possible to cut its run time in half, but that wouldn't change the situation "if your books contain many accounts/transactions will take a long time" AND this is something one runs very rarely*.
BUT ---- I would suggest (both) a) A progress bar, spinner, etc. -- something to let the user know task is active b) A text message along the lines of "May take substantial time according to the number of accounts/transactions. Comparable to the time required to produce a Trial Balance" Michael _______________________________________________ gnucash-devel mailing list gnucash-devel@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
