editing many similar transactions in one operation

[andersvi at notam02.no]

Hi.

It would be great to have an option to change all the transactions
resulting from a certain search in one big swoop.  Say change every
"Imbalance..."  to "Expenses:Private:ICECREAM" in the resulting
collection of transactions.

When importing lists of transactions from bank-accounts into gnucash via
csv or some such, which is a great timesaver btw, the job left is to
adjust the "Imbalance..." account to the correct one.

I often use 'Find' to collect transactions containing a certain kind of
expense into one view, and single-stepping them one-by-one changing
"Imbalance..." to the proper account they belong to.

But used this way the 'Find' operation already contains all information
needed to register the transactions into its proper account, and the
punching afterwards could potentially be flushed.

Any hopes?

Cheers,
