Thank you for your message! I already knew about some of your "newly discovered" features, but I have some comments below

Excellent! No need for the utility if you're just redoing a couple. If you don't know how, look at the top of the accounts page just under the tabs (if you have those) to the far right of the column headings, and click on the "downward chevron" or "v" and you can display the columns menu and activate the Account Code column. Click on the Account Code column to sort the listings by the codes. They sort better now than they used to, so I already have my account names numbered (redundantly -- so account code 004 is "04 Supplies")... Guess what will probably happen at budget time this year... I'll be renaming all the accounts because I won't need the "hack" anymore. You probably already know you can choose the accounts by code when you're entering transactions. I don't know when the codes became editable from the Accounts page. NOW sorting the columns by the Account code works better than it used to (years ago) AND you can renumber them "on the fly" even without using the automated renumbering tool. THANK YOU for sharing your insight! I probably would not have noticed if you hadn't mentioned it. P.S.: And thank you also for sharing things I didn't expand upon, like variables for scheduled transactions. I've used those for years, but probably not to their fullest uses. > ----- > Please remember to CC this list on all your replies. > You can do this by using Reply-To-List or Reply-All. > _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
