With this I was able to add a command to the Tools menu. (See the attached file, in case somebody is interested.) This is indeed interesting... I'd previously experimented with a repl server[1], using nc to connect. Yours is much more elegant. Would you care to add to the wiki? [1] https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Custom_Reports#Command_line_access_to_the_API With yours, one can launch via Tools > Scheme REPL, then (use-modules (gnucash engine)) to import the whole engine api. Can the same strategy also be used to add items to the popup menu? I'm mostly asking if I should look harder or if it is not possible because there are no Scheme bindings for the popup menu. Similarly, is there a Scheme binding for gnc_plugin_page_account_tree_get_current_account? I don't think there is. ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user - Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.

[GNC] User-defined commands
Is there some easy way to add user-defined commands to the menus? I wrote some Scheme code for various tasks and currently I execute this code via custom reports as a side effect. This works, but it would be nicer if I could create proper menu items for these commands. Ideally, the command would be called with some arguments, e.g. the currently selected transaction. Is this possible? Is it documented somewhere?
