[GNC] Starting Balance in Reconciliation Window wrong

[David Cousens]

David T.

Yes I did correct and eliminate the problem by editing the data file
directly and I also agree this is not really viable for the average user. I
only had one incorrectly entered date in one account and for users who have
many years of data the situation could be considerably more complex. I also
had external information about when I had performed past reconcilaitions so
my fix was a simple search and replace once I had verified that it was a
single reconciliation date and the splits which were incorrect agreed with
the date I suspected should have been entered.

I made some suggestions in the DEV forum in response to Chris's options for
a way forward by making the feature optional which may allow the feature to
be retained but switched off by default in preexisting datafiles and only
switched on by default in new data files that may allow retention of the
feature with no disruption for user's with files which may have wrong past
reconciliation dates. It obviously depends on how easy the changes needed to
implement that are.

Another user has raised a separate issue which seems to be associated with a
different startup of the reconciliation process automatically when using
AQbanking to import balances which may or may not be related. He has raised
a separate bug report and I have closed the one I raised as resolved.
