Hi Adrien, I had realised that was what Geoff was trying to do. I think the problem is a report is not an account register, although it appears as a tab in the window also displaying them, but is simply a rendered HTML page. I haven't yet had a look at the code but I would suspect the code for displaying a report is different from that for an account register. From memory, nbut it has been quite a while since I last looked at it, the account register code wasn't a simple GTK structure and GTK has no facility for exporting from the TreeView or ListView data structures. Was it ever exporting reports in CSV in previous versions? It isn't something I do very often so I'm not that sure about it. It may be possible in principle to add an export in CSV but I didn't think that had been implemented. I only remember either copy and pasting from the window or exporting and importing the HTML.
