It seems to me that it is an interface wart that we have two dialog boxes in succession when printing checks. First we have a dialog containing Gnucash-specific items, then the system Print dialog comes up. Looking into it, I think it is possible to eliminate the first, Gnucash-specific one, by inferring some items, and turning the others into preferences.
Specifically, the Check and Date Format items can be turned into preferences -- hopefully, people are not regularly printing checks in different formats; if so, this could be specified per account. The Check Position & Address info are specific to each check, but they both can be inferred. Check Position can be inferred from the check #, as long as the check format knows how many checks per page, and an initial check # that appears at the top of a page. Address can be inferred from the Payee by looking into the Vendor list. Before I start working on implementing this, I wanted to check if folks had any major objections, or suggestions about how to approach it. BTW, I really appreciated all the responses to my post about my Gnucash week; one of the reasons I picked Gnucash to work on was the friendly responses I got after my previous efforts. So, thanks again! Jesse Weinstein _______________________________________________ gnucash-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
