Oh. I thought that WSL2 didn't require the XServer. I did look at the WSL2 installation page (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10) yesterday and it's indeed a geeks-only undertaking at this point. It looks like we'll be stuck with MinGW for the foreseeable future. Regards

Jean, I think you raise a valid point. There does seem to be a tendency in the community to assume that a certain amount of inconvenience is to be expected. The reasons vary, but the underlying tendency remains. David T. Original Message From: jean laroche Sent: Sun Jul 26

Jean as usual the best answer is to push the code forward in ways that you are best capable and willing to do. If they require deep architectural changes that are impossible to maintain, or simply badly written code, then they will be rejected. But if you feel they will be well received then go for

While I'm not a professional, there is a point about undo that I would like to see - sooner than later:  I start to edit a transaction but, before I commit it (press enter or move to another transaction). I realize that I didn't want to do that and would like to cancel my edit, restoring the tra

Because while GnuCash lacks the controls and some modules (c.f. the recent request for cost accounting; we also get frequent questions about whether we support payroll, inventory control, and POS for retail) required by many businesses, it is double-entry and designed for users who want a formal

There's already a cancel button for the first part. There's no undelete, but it wouldn't be to hard to implement: Just make a second set of QofContainers to hold deleted objects until the end of the session and provide a dialog to list them and allow them to be returned to the primary container

OK thanks for all the opinions. As usual with collaborative projects, it's a bit messy, we don't all have the very same optics, which I think is probably a good thing! I would agree with John that undo/redo is very challenging if it's applicable to all actions with "infinite" undo/redo. I've t

LUndo/redo could be implemented as a journalling type table, where each new row describes the change in state. But then you're recreating sqlite, and would require deep architectural changes. Probably not possible in this lifetime. On Mon, 27 Jul 2020, 12:33 pm jean laroche, wrote: > OK thanks f
