Hmm.. This will be interesting. I don't see a way using Gmane with Thunderbird that I can CC anyone. I get the option to 'reply' but that doesn't properly go through Gmane, or I can 'Followup' which does, but doesn't let me CC anyone.

Anyway, I think the issue is one of the Stylesheet has to be set in the report preferences. But the bigger issue is you can't set anything other than the default stylesheet to be the default. So you have to create a 'saved report' version of the invoice, then each time you want to print one, you have to load that saved report, *then* choose the invoice to print.

Ideally, you should be able to set a default invoice-stylesheet combo so that 'printing' an invoice from ANY point in the UI will use that custom default. Otherwise, "what's the point?" The user is left with a very convoluted and non-obvious way to get invoices to print the way they want them to with regularity.

Hello,

I'm trying to configure GNUCash so I can have nice invoices with it, and I used the "taxinvoice" report and I could configure it to my needs. Then, in the GNUCash preferences, business tab, I set the taxinvoice to be the default invoice report for prints.

What I don't understand is how to apply default settings to the taxinvoice report generated when I click on the print button. Now, I get an unconfigured report. is there a way to specify which report configuration to use by default ?

If it's not currently possible, can it be added in the code, where should I look to add this feature?

I could trace it to :

- function gnc_invoice_window_print_invoice : https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash/blob/970e9af3423eb50b9823d264cf6685ccad0b2973/gnucash/gnome/dialog-invoice.c#L805 - function gnc:invoice-report-createhttps://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash/blob/a85520de7b222ac61fca2bf264143996bddc311b/gnucash/report/reports/reports.scm#L69 - function gnc:make-report-options https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash/blob/a85520de7b222ac61fca2bf264143996bddc311b/gnucash/report/report-core.scm#L417 - function gnc:report-template-new-options https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash/blob/a85520de7b222ac61fca2bf264143996bddc311b/gnucash/report/report-core.scm#L289

In the code it seems to create the options from scratch, possibly populating it from a stylesheet. But I don't see a stylesheet type with the same options as a taxinvoice. Is this a feature missing in taxinvoice? Are stylesheets supposed to be the way to populate options for newly created reports? Why not use saved reports?

Thank you for the information you can provide.

PS: please Cc me back as I'm not subscribed to the list, thank you
