So a rather architectural question, escalating it into a more major change affecting older revisions -- sins of the fathers?  :D  Transitioning would take some sort of retention of old logic in case a user's books are in the old form.  Well, every tool is imperfect, and once an imperfection is

If you bothered to investigate what the .gcm file does, if keeps separate records for every different data file that the user has opened since the beginning of time. That is why it is called user data and there is a great deal of discussion on the GnuCash website about why it exists and how to bac

You are mixing up several different functions in one message. Not a good way to get cogent comments. As for scheduled transactions, just un-select Edit >> Scheduled Transactions >> Since Last Run >> Run when data file opened, then run it manually by Actions >> Scheduled Transactions >> Since Last

Now that I do not kill nightly to get quotes, I notice that scheduled trans generation does not occur unless you shut down periodically, as that is a startup task.  I am having trouble remembering to get quotes most nights, too. "What if the file contains unsaved data?"  I was talking about aut

My gcm file is pretty small, how long can it take to save it?  Does it have to mess with the windows, tabs to save?  (I didn't know saving was in two places.  Funny path, too!) 48976645947672304      8 -rwxrwxrwx   1 dgp      dgp          5069 Sep  4 13:55 /mnt/c/Users/david/AppData/Roaming/GnuC

I wasn't trying to answer your comment about code. Since the developers have not found a way to easily solve either your problem or my related problem, the code must be complex. Thus, we must satisfy ourselves with a work-around that meets our needs. For me, I find a time to close the program af

My point, in a bit of reverse humor, was that it was a mistake to have 2 kinds of save, in several senses, and my issue is one of them.  Surely all the transactions and quotes take much longer to save than my tab list, so I do not see any up side to having two kinds of save -- just more code, l

I don't know about that but it takes a substantial amount of time to wait for GnuCash to (possibly) save the data file, save the .gcm file, shut down and then re-open the data file with all the register windows that were not closed and all the reports that were not closed, vs (possibly) save the da

AFAIK, certain dynamic configuration details such as which account register tabs are open, column widths in those account registers, and settings for reports which are left open are only updated when GnuCash is manually closed. I have proposed a button to manually save these details in *Bug 729889
