Robert, Yet another option is to use gnucash' --extra switch. This is a runtime command line switch that is used to show some additional menu items in a menu called Extra. While developing you could move the actions related to Register2 to this menu and every user can test them simply by

Another thing I did not know about. I have added bug 710830 which adds a configure option --enable-register2 and with this set will compile Gnucash as is. If not enabled, default, Gnucash will look like before and operate the same way. There is also an option to use Gnucash with the --extra switch

Hi Robert, Thanks for picking up the work on the register2 again. Also thanks for the proposal for the next release. However, I strongly suggest *not* to remove the register2 code from SVN currently. Instead, any of us other developers can add a configure option or something similar easily.

I am fine with what ever is best, mine was the simple solution which I knew how to do but if a configure option can be added then please do. Regards, Robert On 22 October 2013 20:49, John Ralls jra...@ceridwen.us wrote: On Oct 22, 2013, at 11:34 AM, Geert Janssens janssens-ge...@telenet.be

I have added a patch to bug 673193 to remove all new register2 files and amend existing files to restore the register back to the original setup. I will progress the register2 changes off line and try to resolve the existing open bugs. Regards, Robert On 14 October 2013 18:52, Geert

Hi Robert, Sorry to hear about your computer crash. I wish you good luck in restoring your working environment(s). Based on your feedback I propose to disable the register2 work for now to get 2.6 out of the door as planned in December. I seem to remember you were rather careful to keep the
