[GNC] GNUcash 3.2 file open issue

[Adrien Monteleone]

Yep, a bug for sure. I’m curious why GC creates its own file/print dialogs when they could instead call the native OS dialogs. To me, that’s the bug and the problem in this thread would also be solved. It’s also less code to maintain.

Regards,
Adrien
