Re: [GNC] Auto commit with auto save?

2023-05-11 Thread David G. Pickett via gnucash-user
An alternative proposal is to create data elements to allow auto-saving of both the modified and unmodified transaction of uncommitted changes, so if the file is reloaded, the uncommitted state is restored as it was at the time of the save.  Then auto save would ensure these uncommitted

"Don't do that!" does not prevent data loss from human error, which for this app behavior is too easy to create and not realize. If the commit was automatic every time you modified a transaction when the new state was valid, then I would not leave the tab in an uncommitted state, but that is

I miss the old entry of transaction account, as it had fewer keystrokes/clicks to get the average desired entry. I have it set to the leaf value mode, which itself is a mixed deal since sometimes I am not sure what the full path is, but it fits better (takes less column width).
