Yea, well, it's a 6 month old Dell XPS 13 laptop, very fast. Before I upgraded to 3.1, the saves were instantaneous, eg took a few seconds. After upgrading, 2-3+ minutes for a simple save. No change in my hardware. Same laptop. But thanks for the reply. -- Sent from: http://gnucash.1415818.n4.n

So am I being punished for not helping that little old lady across the street, last month? Why would 2 users, both using the same version of the software, on the same operating system, experience totally different experiences re saving a "simple" file to their drive? -- Sent from: http://gnucas

Thanks for your suggestion. Unless I'm misunderstanding, what you propose would work fine if one was not interested in keeping track of the current balance(s) in the various MRA accounts. I need to keep track of the balances, as I need to know which MRA account still has credit balances to which

Saw the SAVE AS issue in 3.1+Win10, but in a quick search, didn't see this (apologize if I missed it)... Using 3.1 + Windows 10, why does it now take 2-3 minutes (literally) just to do a simple save? It's not the end of my world, but... -- Sent from: http://gnucash.1415818.n4.nabble.com/GnuCas
