-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello Dimity,
we discussed that at the german mailinglist more than once ;-) I have made solution wirth python-bindings and latex for my invoices and the output is much better. https://github.com/mwellnitz/gnucash-latex/ https://github.com/mwellnitz/gnucash-latex/wiki Actually I have a problem with the python-bindings (Error) but that's maybe only at my system. Texts are in german, sorry :-( so maybe It's not so helpful for you? Also Chistoph made his solution: https://github.com/c-holtermann/gnucash/tree/python-kvp As time is limited it's impossible for us to improve or even merge our solutions but if the gnucash core-team will support any new solution we will participate in that project. I wish you a happy christmas Marcus Am 24.12.2014 um 10:22 schrieb Dmitry Pavlov: > A brief search through list did not bring any results, so I decided to > start a new one. > > First of all: no offence but most gnucash reports are poorly implemented. > It's not because they useless or looks not pretty (most of them are useful > and good, calm down :)) .
