[GNC] Changing multiple transactions

[Adrien Monteleone]

You can save as XML, make your changes, then save as SQLite again. I've 
bounced back and forth several times without issue.

You can also do an export to csv, make edits in a spreadsheet, then 
import the corrected transactions, and just delete the Imbalance account 
and all transactions in it.

(that would be the better option as directly changing the file outside 
of GnuCash is not supported, though it may work)

Regards,
Adrien
