Reconcile Window

[DaveC49]

Hi When i am reconciling my accounts, when the reconcile window opens usually
a large number of transactions have been automatically matched and ticked in
the R column. This is a nice feature if no transactions are missing or have
been incorrectly entered, but if this is the case, it can make it difficult
to find the transaction that is missing.  I usually do this by unselecting
all the transactions and then reselecting them as I match them with
transactions in the statement. 

This is OK if there are only a few transactions but I have a number of
accounts where there are several hundred to a thousand transactions in the
statement period and just unselecting by clicking on each transaction them
becomes onerous.  I have not been able to find any reference to deselecting
all transactions in the help file.

It would be nice to be able to deselect all transactions which have been
automatically selected using a button or menu item in the reconcile window
to speed up this process. Am I alone in desiring such a feature or do others
experience this same difficulty.

I have also on occasion had to undo a previous reconciliation back to a
previous statement date and redo the reconciliation (usually if I have made
errors in the reconciliation or the automatic process referred to above has
mismatched transactions and I have not detected them). Again not a huge
problem where there are only a few transactions in the statement period but
when there are four clicks required to unreconcile a transaction and several
hundred transactions this becomes very onerous and time consuming. 

The ability to unreconcile all transactions after a given statement date in
a single operation would certainly assist in doing this. 

Am I missing an obvious way to perform the above operations. If not is it a
generally desirable feature?

cheers
