[GNC] Associate a file with the selected transaction.

[David H]

David,

Don't forget there's also a Gnucash : General : Linked Files preference
that allows you to set the "Path head for Linked Files Relative Paths"
which I believe is used to point to the folder you want to keep your
associated files in.

Cheers David H.
