Hi - I am new to GnuCash (using version 2.6.15), and I am mostly pleased.

I can export a CSV file of an account easily enough (File > Export > 
Export Transactions to CSV).  Is it possible to export the full name of 
accounts?  Is that a simple option somewhere that I am overlooking?

The CSV that is exported has a column called "Account Name" and a column 
called "Category" - both of these columns contain the short name of 
accounts.  Suppose I have an assets:cash account and an expenses:clothes 
account.  A transaction where I purchased some clothes appears in the 
CSV using just "cash" and "clothes" in the respective columns instead of 
"assets:cash" and "expenses:clothes" This is obviously a problem as soon 
as two accounts have the same name (e.g. expenses:auto:gas and 
expenses:utilities:gas).

Thanks.
