It was 3.1 and just updated ... yet to use the new one though. I have created and saved a config and then when revising some bits, just save the report config. I'll have a look at your suggestions tmrrw sometime .
Many thanks Geert ..

In addition there is a subtle difference between report configurations you explicitly save and reports you keep open when quitting gnucash. The former are stored in a file named saved-reports-x.y. The ones that are still open while gnucash exits will be saved in GNC_DATA_HOME/books/ <yourbook>.gcm. These will be restored automatically when you restart gnucash.
