Hi Sam,

Initial thought: How would you enter a several-way split transction via your 
proposal?
I'm not a dev, and have no idea about the implications of your proposal at a 
coding level, but I do know that internally, every GC transaction is a split - 
just a question of how many splits!


>From a practical point, which addresses the usability of GC, when I have a 
stack of data to enter into GC, I try to group the receipts by source account, 
so I'll do all checking account first, then credit card, then wallet, for 
example.  This certainly helps reduce the clicking into different accounts!

HTH,
Maf.
