remembering & printing payee addresses?

[R. Victor Klassen]

No, I wasn’t saying it worked.  Only that the information is available, should someone write the code to make the connection.


And no, it hasn’t been added in 2.6.0


It is a feature I too would like.  But don’t know how to make the necessary changes.

Unfortunately, when I tried to print, it did NOT access the address I entered for that Vendor.  I could try GnuCash 2.6.0, but that would apparently require me either to install something other than Ubuntu 12.04 LTS or compile GnuCash from source.  I may do both (but not immediately ;-).
