I just encountered the following situation and want to know if I
should file a bug?
1) create a custom report, save it, close gnucash **with the report open**
2) edit saved-reports-2.0 and remove the custom report definition
3) start gnucash and watch it die
If gnucash tries to open a missing custom report (listed in
~/.gnucash/books/ ) that doesn't exist in saved-reports-2.0 it dies.
(leaving locks in place)
expected results: gnucash should allow for not being able to open a
listed report window when opening a custom report. Especially in
light of the fact that the end user needs to manually edit
saved-reports-2.0 to remove a custom report -- saved-reports should be
treated more cautiously, if the state file lists a state that gnucash
can't restore, it should report it then ignore that specific state and
move to the next.
