Unfortunately the way QOF works (since about 2.0), Accounts are not "special" anymore -- all matches are performed by GUID (including accounts). This was implemented as a generalization of the code as it was expanded to be able to search for other objects, like Customers, Invoices, etc. The downside of this change is that this particular feature was lost. The only way to add it back in would be to completely restructure the way searches are performed in order to special-case Accounts again. I think, with the C++ rewrite underway, this feature could, theoretically, be re-added by allowing an Account to override the generic search functions. > Please remember to CC this list on all your replies. > You can do this by using Reply-To-List or Reply-All. -derek -- Derek Atkins, SB '93 MIT EE, SM '95 MIT Media Laboratory Member, MIT Student Information Processing Board (SIPB) URL: http://web.mit.edu/warlord/PP-ASEL-IA N1NWH warl...@mit.eduPGP key available ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. - Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.

Re: [GNC] Wildcard in standard report definiton
I have not migrated to release 3.x yet, so I have not seen that new Transaction Report (General / Add options summary) yet. I hope it includes a list of selected accounts, name and path for the data file, and, if possible any other details such as last file save time and whatever else to try to create a semblance of an audit trail, or at least a better snapshot to present to an auditor if required. I have habitually kept certain reports open perpetually in my primary computer/data file combination, saving revisions when needed to migrate to other machines, so I had actually momentarily 'forgotten' that they were not specific to the data file. Leaving them open while saving keeps a copy of sorts of those report settings as well as open account window settings keyed to the data file name in the machine profile. A serious downside to this technique is that overall performance takes a huge hit when opening, closing and saving the file and even when pressing Enter to save each transaction edit. Thanks, Christopher, for the reminder that the templates and the saved custom reports are not data file specific unless the user adds something to the custom report title to give a clue. .David C On Tue, Dec 18, 2018 at 8:40 PM Christopher Lam wrote: > There's mechanism for printing report settings, but it's only enabled in > the Transaction Report (General / Add options summary). > > Import/Export of settings is more difficult because many options are > datafile-specific eg selection of accounts, report currency.

Re: [GNC] Wildcard in standard report definiton
There's mechanism for printing report settings, but it's only enabled in the Transaction Report (General / Add options summary). Import/Export of settings is more difficult because many options are datafile-specific eg selection of accounts, report currency. The current saved-reports mechanism is already less than ideal because they're saved centrally and are not very easily portable across machines, and IMHO should really specific to a datafile. With regard to selecting a 'wildcard' type of accounts selection, it's a good entry-level idea for a budding scheme hacker :) On 19/12/18 5:42 am, David Carlson wrote: On that subject, I would like to see a way to document the current settings of a report, perhaps by including it as an appendix to the report printout.

Re: [GNC] Wildcard in standard report definiton
Nice. On all counts. This might also address some recent list topics about migrating from one OS to another. If the report settings were exportable/importable, via an app function, that would make things easier and allay some concerns.

Re: [GNC] Wildcard in standard report definiton
On that subject, I would like to see a way to document the current settings of a report, perhaps by including it as an appendix to the report printout. Then I would like to see a way to export and import settings from one data file to another.
