I want to have a way to store the transaction in GnuCash once I've finished entering its details. As it is now it stays 'live' until you hit the + button. I'm surprised actually that it doesn't default to 'storing' it when you leave the transaction. In fact it's not very clear (to me, as a very new user) exactly when tranasactions get entered and/or when they are permanently stored. Even after hitting the + button there seems to be another stage as, on exit, it warns that you'll lose everything unless you 'save'. -- Chris Green _______________________________________________ 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.
