Whether to open an "invoice" in a new window or in a tab in the main
window. This is the same question as whether to open a register in
a new window or a tab.
> Accumulate splits on post
When you post an invoice, should there be a 1:1 mapping of line-items
in the invoice to Splits in the transaction? Or should multiple
line-items to the same Account be merged into a single Split?
> Number of rows
How many rows to display in the Invoice 'register'.
> Preferences : General
> New Search Limit
I /believe/ that this is a limit of how many items to return in a
Search.
> Preferences : Online banking
> Use bayesian matching
For OFX/HBCI: whether to use bayesian-style matching to map
transaction description text to previous imports to determine account
names.
> Match display threshold
> Auto-add threshold
> Auto-clear threshold
I'm not 100% sure what each of these thresholds mean. Have you
looked at the tool tips for each one?
> Commercial Cash Machine fees threshold
This is the delta-amount for ATM fees to auto-match the amount of the
transaction. E.g., if you entered a transaction for $100 and you see
a transaction for $102, should these be considered possible matches?
Well, that depends -- maybe there was a $2 ATM fee.

Yes, this should be rows.
> PReferences : Register Defaults
> Number of transactions
Not sure exactly what this means.
> Number of rows
How many rows to display.
> Also, No "Reset to default" button????
> How do you revert back to default values in the preference dialog?
I don't know. David?
