Hello,
It seems to me that the currently set accounting period is not saved in the GnuCash file? I have different files for different periods and different organizations and have to adjust the period every time I open another file. Wouldn't it be a useful improvement to change this?

They are indeed user preferences, not part of the book. Yes, it would be a huge improvement to make it a book feature. It’s not a trivial change though and so far nobody has prioritized doing the work. Should anyone care to write it note that it will need to be guarded by a feature (see libgnucash/engine/gnc-features.h) and so will need two PRs: One to implement the engine and backend changes that make it readable for the stable branch and a second that moves the option from preferences to file properties and set the feature for the future branch.


Also the currency should be part of the book.

When I have some time...

For now I will create a shell script for every gnucash datafile which loads a specific dconf file before starting GC and dumps the settings to it afterwards...

Regards
Manfred
