I was listening a while back when it came up previously :-)
Cheers David H.

I remember looking briefly at this possibility about the time I put the multiple
selection feature in he import matching window. If I remember correctly, the
account register is not a simple GTK TreeView structure which was what made

Very strange. Here’s the way I got it back:
GnuCash uses a full chart of accounts rather than Quicken's method of using
categories in place of Inc & Exp accounts, but in GnuCash language you could
achieve the equivalent result by doing a multi-select in the old
counter-account (i.e., old
I'm putting words into David's mouth here, but I think he meant to do a

up in a separate search result tab. If you've already done a COPY (CTRL /

If I understand correctly, you are asking for an analogue to Quicken's

For those who don't know it, Recategorize shows you all the entries booked

You're a little bit fast for me on that one. :-)
I did it by hand for what I needed right now, but I was asking for next
time.
In the 3rd paragraph, by "separate register" do you mean create a temp
account,
and by "putting them in a separate register" do you mean cut/paste each
transaction?
If you're changing every ABC to DEF, you can delete ABC and tell gnucash to
move the transactions into DEF. That's documented in the wiki.
If you're only deleting a bunch (but not all) there isn't one find and replace
command. When push comes to shove, though, even fixing 100 transactions will
I feel like we have heard this all before?

It's a little disconcerting that in Win 10, Gnucash 4.8, if you
inadvertently right click (usually right click = context menu) on an mru
entry it immediately closes gnucash and then re-opens initially with an
"unsaved book" in the title and then repaints whatever registers were open
one at a time.
Hi
I print checks occassionally using GnuCash. I find that the program doesn't
remember the addresses of regular payees. Each time I go to print a check, I
need to re-enter the address for the payee, even though I've paid them before.
Is there a step I'm missing?
Thanks in advance for any

I am not a computer programmer, but I think that what I want to see does
not require any additional data to be saved within the data file. I think
that it could be implemented as a minor program enhancement.
Of course, to match the wealth of information for example that Libre Office

Wow, I had not noticed that the fully qualified file location appears in

While I know some applications show full path names in their MRU, I personally

that suboptimal.
Ok, so in your use case you use different filepaths? I get it... financial
data is mission critical. However, I took a different approach. GnuCash
itself saves three deep backups in my config. That will cover any user
error mistakes. Daily I have a script which backs up all my books to a
backup
Stan and Glen, Thanks for the comments.
I do like Stan's suggestion.
Glen, One issue that I am concerned about is that to see where the
currently open file is located it would be necessary to use a gimmick such
as File>Save As, which has some potential hazards if an unintended file

Hi David,
Wouldn't it make more sense to keep file information where it belongs, in
the file manager? My opinion is that would be out of the scope of GnuCash
and give it feature creep.

Why not change the MRU list to show location, not just file name. That
