I have been reading about requirements for saving information associated with a
data file, and the comments imply that the data will be stored inside the
gnucash data file. Is this the idea, or will the data be stored in a separate
file? If a separate file is used for configuration data, existing libraries
could be used to manipulate the data, and the format for the transaction data
does not have to change. If we want to combine everything into a single file,
we could use some sort of embedded file system as described in the recent
discussion
regarding bonobo reports.
I'm interested in this because the storing everything in one file would make the
important file larger, and therefore more difficult to maintain backups.
