What is the general policy on changes to reports? Create a new one with a new name or update the existing one?
My wife is an accountant and she liked the formatting of the Balance Sheet eguile over the standard Balance Sheet report. But she felt it was too busy with the totals and sub-totals being annotated and was horrified to find the Income Statement buried inside. So, I have hacked the code to enhance those two items. As way of introduction, as I am new to this list. I stated my I.T. life as a COBOL developer for the first two decades (along with some hardware specific other languages). Then spent a decade as an Oracle DBA with the final decade as an I.T. Development Manager with a couple of development teams and a DBA in my group. No, I don't know C or C++ nor the language I hacked on while "fixing" the balance sheet (eguile) report. Nor have I used GIT. Yes, I am retired (spent the last 12 months no touching any code whatsoever) and I am open to being led by the hand if a developer would be so kind as to guide this over-the-hill-old-dog! And yes, I plan to hack the eguile version of the Balance Sheet to create a more nicely formatted Income Statement. So, again, is policy to update the existing or create a new option on the report list? [My personal vote is to keep the list of options low and update existing -- but that's my background in software development]. --Steve -- Stephen M Butler, PMP, PSM stephen.m.butle...@gmail.com kg...@arrl.net 253-350-0166 ------------------------------------------- GnuPG Fingerprint: 8A25 9726 D439 758D D846 E5D4 282A 5477 0385 81D8 _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
