Image enabling gnucash?

[Bakki Kudva]

Dave,

Thank you for that quick response. I just checked out the sources from
cvs and will study them over the next days (weeks!?). Hopefully I can
come up with some way of intelligently integrating the functionality.

Ofcourse it makes sense for it to be tuned off as default. Could be 
enabled via a new panel in Settings -> preferences..? But even personal 
users could benefit a great deal with image enabling. At tax time, when 
something under warranty breaks, when a maintenance agreement expires or 
whatever ALL of your receipts/credit card slips etc will be on line. No 
more digging through that shoe box. Scanners and hard drives have become 
cheap enough for this to be practical for the average home account. I 
think most people may have 3-6K of transactions/year. On an average you 
could store about 20K of compressed tiff images in 1 GB. So this IS 
imaging for the rest of us.

I am already on it. Thank you,
