Nope, that also concerns balances (or any request for that matter), since some protocols do not allow to specifically request the balance (e.g. EBICS) but rather return the balance with the transaction statements (e.g. in the SWIFT MT94x). So when requesting the balance you must also be prepared to import the whole imexporter context. That's why I propose a single importation point between the application and AqBanking. It simplifies the design dramatically, and since you already have the interface for importing an ImExporterContext (->SWIFT MT94x importer) it would be easiest to use *that*. Any request send to a bank returns its resulting data in the imexporter context, so it would be easiest to: - create the corresponding job - send it to the bank via AqBanking, passing it the ImExporterContext to use - check for the status of the job - import the ImExporterContext That's how I do it in QBankManager and how it's done in the KMyMoney plugin and it works rather nicely.

[...] Right, but since GnuCash is setting standards when it comes to financial applications I don't think it should allow for the user to loose important data :-) Regards Martin -- "Things are only impossible until they're not" Martin Preuss - http://www.aquamaniac.de/ AqBanking - http://www.aqbanking.de/ LibChipcard - http://www.libchipcard.de/ _______________________________________________ gnucash-devel mailing list gnucash-devel@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
