[GNC] Why duplicate reports in 3.2?

[Adrien Monteleone]

I understand that perfectly, hence my possible RFE to have the New Book Wizard handle this somehow. (and if it doesn’t, one can always rename it in the options as you mention)

At the very least, regardless of what you want or need to call it, we don’t need two of the same report in the menu. It’s just clutter and serves to add confusion.

Regards,
Adrien

Note that the name of the report (in gnucash) and the title of the report in the report itself need not be the same (you can change the title via Edit=>Options.
