(cc'd to gnucash-devel) Strangely, I just noticed that the "Save Report" feature isn't in the g2 UI. Personally I think the "Save Report" is a misnomer -- it should probably be labeled "Memorize Report" or "Memorize Report Settings" or something to that affect.
I suspect that users think "Save Report" would mean "Save the contents of this report so I can send it to someone" which is not what this feature actually does. Perhaps "Remember Report" would be another potential label? -derek "Maf.
