To me the main driver of a single data file approach is the ability to create reports with multi-period comparisons of the data. To be able to do this in a year by year with separate file approach GnuCash would have to have the ability to either keep multiple sets of books open simultaneously or sequentially access the separate files to extract the required data to construct such a report. Clearly not impossible but much easier on the programming side with a multi year file where all the data is accessible.
The good thing is that GnuCash can be operated in whatever manner suits the user, a flexibility many other programs don't have ----- David Cousens -- Sent from: http://gnucash.1415818.n4.nabble.com/GnuCash-User-f1415819.html _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list [email protected] To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
