Re: [GNC] View/Filter by & Edit/Find

Derek,
I know the find function is unrelated to the auto complete function, I just 
thought it wouold be great if they fuctioned along the same lines, without 
regard to the limitation of the account register involved.  However, executing 
the "find" from the chart of accounts page instead of the register gets me what 
I need, so thank you for that, it is greatly appreciated!

I also know that is not a bug, but more of a feature request, but totally 
unnecessary, now that you pointed out iy can be done from the COA page.

However, since I now know you are one of the developers, can you explain what I 
am missing when I change the filter in the view and don't select "save", why it 
seems to save the new parameters instead of reverting to the old 90-day limit, 
even on a restart?

BTW, I want to thank you, John, and all the developers for a great piece of 
software.  I never regret the day I found Gnu Cash when I needed to replace my 
previous software!


Thank You,

Gyle McCollam

Hi,

This is not a bug.  The "Find" function, when started from an open
register, will always filter on the register contents.  So if you have the
register limited to 90 days, the Find will only search there.

If you want to start from a "scratch" find then you need to go to the
Chart of Accounts page.

The Find function is completely unrelated to autocompletion.

All of the devops stuff, including the bug tracker, wiki, git repos, and 
nightly builds, is at Derek's house in Atlanta; it's only the website at 
www.gnucash.org  that's at Linas's house in Austin and 
that's what's down (along with Linas's personal domain linas.org 
).

[GNC] View/Filter by & Edit/Find

2023-02-16 Thread Gyle McCollam 
When entering a new transaction in an account the auto complete works even if 
the transaction is older than the limit set in "View/Filter by", which is great 
and how I think it should work.  However, when you do an "Edit/Find", it only 
finds transactions within the date range of View/Filter by.  I think both the 
Auto Complete and Find should work the same way.

Since they don't, I had to change the View /Filter by from the 90 days I had 
set on the account to All, but I didn't save the filter because I wanted it to 
go back to the 90 days when I finished.  I really don't think i should have had 
to change it all.  Anyway, this brought another problem to my attention.  How 
do you get the view back to 90 days without setting the "Filter by" again.  I 
tried closing and reopening the account, that didn't work.  So, I tried closing 
Gnu Cash and reopening, that didn't work either.  It appears that even though I 
didn't "save" the filter it saved it anyway.

It would be best if we didn't have to change the filter just to do a find.  Is 
this a bug or bugs that should be reported when the Gnu Cash website comes back 
up?
