[GNC] Template Transactions Behavior in Scheduled Transaction Editor

[Adrien Monteleone]

That sounds like you have an SX to autocreate. Perhaps turn that off and 
it won't fire.

Otherwise, perhaps turn off the preference to execute the Since Last Run 
dialog on startup. You can still run it manually to fire any pending 
SXs, but otherwise, not have it bother you if you just want to pop in 
and out to check a balance.

Another option (which I use for other reasons) is to simply leave 
GnuCash open 24/7. That lets me see and do whatever I want, and I just 
run the SLR periodically to fire my SXs. (Oddly, there is no 'watcher' 
that fires them when the system date should otherwise trigger them)

Regards,
Adrien
