I think you make a valid point here. Perhaps the filter code should prefer 
exact matches over 
partial matches for sorting rather than just alphabetically ? Using your 
example, if previous 
descriptions exist for "ONG" and for "Amazon Szongo", and you type "ONG", then 
ONG 
should be first in the list.

Correct, 4.14 did not get any new features, but did get most of the bug 
fixes that went into 5.0. (though not all)


I too like it so far, and have already made plans to use it in cleaning 
up spelling variations.


But I do understand how some cases would be not as easy or friendly. 
Overall, I expect it to be as great or more of a time saver as the same 
functionality for choosing transfer accounts. I foresee the few times it 
takes me an extra click or two will be more than offset.

Adrien

Re: [GNC] 5.0-1 (Flathub) issue

[Gyle McCollam]

Having the option to choose either method is a good one, but I have no problem 
with the change.

In fact, I would like to see the option to select from multiple previous 
transfers.  I have many vendors that have several transfer options and using 
the last one is not what I would normally choose.  For instance, the state (US) 
& federal govt. make payments to us for pension, several tax relief programs, 
and tax refunds.  This happens with my insurance company as well, for 
homeowners and car.  Defaulting to the last transaction for the vendor still 
means I have to make adjustments to the accounts.


Thank You,

Gyle McCollam

Re: [GNC] 5.0-1 (Flathub) issue

[Dale Alspach]

While that is a short term solution, it may have negative consequences. It
eliminates the correct match from the list of matches.  Further your
solution will likely add the matching string ONG for future
entries and the entry may cause formatting (alignment on initial visible
character) annoyances in reports.
If instead I wanted to enter Long, spaces before and after will not
eliminate John Hancock Long Term Care or any other phrase with the internal
word long.

Re: [GNC] 5.0-1 (Flathub) issue

[David H]

Dale,

Typing 2 spaces to cater for the matches to "ong " with a trailing space
works for me in that specific case, of course if you have no matches that
end with ong and a trailing space only one space is required.

Cheers David H.

Re: [GNC] 5.0-1 (Flathub) issue

[Dale Alspach]

What if there is no more to type?
Example: I enter ONG
That is exactly what I want. The list includes Amanda Szongo, all
possibities including words such as long, e.g., long term care. The
highlighted entry is Amand Szongo so I cannot just hit tab. How do I move
the cursor off the description ? I don't want to scroll through a list for
something that is already in the field.
I have not played with this or searched the documentation, so there may be
something simple.
For me it would help if the matching assumed that I was typing the first
few characters.

Re: [GNC] 5.0-1 (Flathub) issue

[David H]

I also like this feature, a nice surprise when I started entering a new txn
and it popped up - shows me where I've rearranged payee details
inadvertently.  Being as pedantic as I am, it's now given me extra work
because I now feel obliged to go back and sort out the differences :-)

Thanks to John and all the other developers / translators / etc for the
continuing efforts bringing new features to Gnucash which continues to
improve, albeit with the odd minor hiccup here and there.  Thanks also to
those that are quick to jump in and help with any issues that do crop up,
we have a great user support list here also.

One complaint - Get Quotes on version 5 (Windows / macOS / linux) no longer
allows me sufficient time to make the necessary instant coffee first thing
in the morning, I barely get coffee and sugar into the mug and
it's finished already.  Seriously though, I love the speed of it now - good
work on the rewrite in c++.

Thanks again David H.

To reduce the number of matches just keep typing.

Re: [GNC] 5.0-1 (Flathub) issue

[R Losey]

I also disagree; I have only used 5.0 for a few entries; it will get a good
workout tomorrow, but I can see it saving typing. Currently, it's a bit of
a surprise to see the list pop up, but I imagine I'll get used to it. I
don't know what happens if there are, say, 20 different older entries; it
would be nice if it only showed a limited number of recent matches for when
there are a lot of possibilities -- even nicer if this were
user-customizable.

I found the old way of matching the last entry a bit annoying at times.

Re: [GNC] 5.0-1 (Flathub) issue

[Patrick James]

Once the correct payee is highlighted, simply tab to the next field, and 5.0 
will fill it in as you desire. Also note that you may arrow up and down during 
the data entry to select your desired payee, and then click tab.

I have a few payees that are very similar, but are long, so the number of 
keystrokes has gone down by a significant amount for those situations. The 
other situations are the same number of keystrokes, or very close.

Re: [GNC] 5.0-1 (Flathub) issue

[William Prescott]

I disagree. I like the new feature. I often have several entries that start 
similarly. Before I would have to type a lot of characters until I got to the 
point where they differed. Now I just start typing and it brings up all of them 
for me to choose with a couple of touches on the down arrow.

Thank you.
