Could you explain that to me? The documentation (design document) says that the value of an account is equal to the splits in it plus the sum of all of the subaccounts. If some are income and others are expenses, I don't see how that can be true. The design document also causes me to worry bec

Hey, one more question... Should the creation of accounts with null names be allowed in the first place? If they are, then we will always have a problem going to the current postgres db spec because the accounts table does not allow null names. So, or or the other needs to be changed. Perry O

I'm going to move this back to devel. This is all making pretty good sense now. The xml file agrees with the accounts window which agrees with the data structures I'm looking at with gdb, and I found the original transaction in both Quicken and the qif file. A number of questions have come up
