tutorial on multi-currency accounting

2007-02-22 Thread Peter Selinger
Hi, I noticed that multiple currencies in GnuCash do not work very well with double-entry accounting. I have investigated the issue and written a tutorial explaining how double-entry multi-currency accounting should work. Perhaps someone may find this interesting: http://www.mathstat.dal.ca/~seli

Re: Undo

2007-02-23 Thread Peter Selinger
As I understand it, in a large GnuCash installation, multiple users could access the same backend database. The lock-edit-commit mechanism prevents conflicts. So what should be the default behavior of U2 and U3 (undo or redo) if, for example, the transaction has meanwhile been edited by another u

Re: [Inquiry]GNUCash SoC - Implementing Undo

2007-03-28 Thread Peter Selinger
I fully agree with Derek. The main reason someone would want to undo an Import is that the Import was messed-up somehow - wrong account created; wrong currency; wrong file imported, etc. It does not make sense to undo the steps of an import one by one, because those steps were not performed in any

Yes, this bug has been reported many times. For example the following bug id's: 335101, 340438, 410604. The bug has been present in all GnuCash versions since at least the 1.8 series, probably longer. Mike Alexander has submitted a one-line patch that partially fixes this bug. See http://bugzilla.

Hi, I have tried the new register rewrite branch. It looks very nice; many thanks to Chris. I have a few minor comments and suggestions. * numbers in the register view should be right-aligned * it would be nice if the transactions were sorted by date by default; the current default seems to
