I can't remember we ever said it would be possible to write to the GnuCash db from outside of GnuCash. That would mean that **all** accounting constraints should be encoded in the db data structure. I don't think that's possible. Take for example the simple constraint that transactions have to balance. There is no way to encode that in a db data structure. What we did state is that eventually multiple users can connect to the same database through separate gnucash instances. ... > > > On Feb 21, 2019, at 8:53 AM, Harry Foerster <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > I'm currently running Gnucash 3.3 under Windows 10.

On Windows you have limited extension options: - parts of gnucash are written in guile, a lisp-like functional programming language. You can write extensions in guile, however the possibilities to alter gui interactions are limited this way. - the other option is to write the changes you want in C(++). That will require you to recompile the application, which can be challenging depending on your programming experience.
