My patch doesn't change the backend's file writing code, so whatever timestamp is assigned by GnuCash is what gets saved. If the time written isn't midnight, the patch will think that the transaction is bug-affected when the file is read in again. Could you explain about the time used in book closing transactions? I had hoped to avoid changing the file writing part of the code, but maybe that's not possible. > -derek > > -- > Derek Atkins, SB '93 MIT EE, SM '95 MIT Media Laboratory > Member, MIT Student Information Processing Board (SIPB) > URL: http://web.mit.edu/warlord/ PP-ASEL-IA N1NWH > [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP key available > Cheers, Charles _______________________________________________ gnucash-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
