hi,

Reference to:  "Code" - (Account Numbers)  and other

Here in germany, we are using the Code *always* together
with the name of the Account. In this reason, the Code
always is written on the left of the "Account name".

All remarks are written behind "Code and Name", but
the amount is written on the right of all. (gnc writes
the amount on the left of remarks and other)

With gnc the "Code" is only writeable in the "Account Tree"
and in the "Transaction Report". But it is needed always,
meaning needed on all pages and "text reports".

In this connection I observed, that many windows for "Options"
are different. Some Option-windows (example: "Account Tree"
and "Transaction report") are to big.
Therefore the Buttons below couldn't be reached.

On the other hand I mean (for many Option-windows),
the settings works wrong. Saving them, closing gnc and
open it with the same file, the settings should work on.
I think, they don't do so in all respects.

Offers and topics for Option windows are variably.
Some option windows have one page, other more.
Those with only one page, the page is to big.
(write more pages than one)

See the window for Transaction too (it is to big)
The position of it is bad. The window closes after each
transaction (while building more accounts than one too)

See the window for built a new Account (Account Hirarchie /
New) too. After each "OK", the window closes.

I think, you can do it better:
Here my expected manner, hoping you may like it too:

(Look here: Most things you still have in Options of Account
Hirarchie and in Options of Transaction report. Alter it )

Give all Option windows the same offers and topics
Give for selection a Button (yes or no)
Put all topics in more pages than one (like text reports)
Make "print" and "copy" free for all occasions.
Show everytime the Code on the left from the Account Name.
Show everytime the amount on the right of all.
You may give a "Zoom" for (all) windows, if possible or necessary.
For save settings be careful, it only will change back, if it is
ordered. Make the window for "Transaction" new (not so big and
hang it up above) Make it possible for booth windows (Transaction
and "New Accounts" ) that they will stay open still they will be
closed manual.

regards

Sina
