[GNC] Default Accounting period permanent change (Ver 4.6 still..)

[Alan Hopkins]

   Hi Doug
   Nice to hear from another Aussie PCLOS & GNUCash user!
   I have the same version of GNC as you (as that's what is in the repo!)
   - I haven't been using GNC for long but I set the accounting period in
   the Preferences as Absolute to 1st July 20 to 30 Jun 21 (ie last fin
   year) and it defaults the reports (Beginning & End of Accounting
   Period) to the correct dates.  I will need to change that for this fin.
   year (and those that follow) as it is an absolute setting but I don't
   see that as problem.
   Another alternative would be to set the dates in the Report Options and
   then save that report configuration so when you use it the report has
   the default settings you want.
   But I guess you know all the above being a long-time GNC user!
   My thanks to the GNUCash gurus, facilitators & fixers - GNC is a
   terrific resource!!
   Cheers

Hi,
 has anyone changed the default accounting period in the reports window?
 Currently they are set to 1 Jan to 31 Dec. Australian Tax year is 1 July to 30
June.

 I know I can set them report by report, but it would be nice to change the defa
ults.

 I am currently using ver 4,6 on Linux (PCLinuxOS, which I have been using for y
ears & love!)
