[GNC] Clearing filters on account registers

[Adrien Monteleone]

Tabs don't change color on their own. You have to do that intentionally 
by editing an account and setting a color. This has nothing to do with 
filters.

Make sure that Preferences > Register Defaults > Number of transactions 
is set to ZERO to show all transactions.

While you mentioned the "Show All" on the Filter by... > Date tab, check 
the Status tab also and check all that apply to *show*. (I always show 
all transactions, and that might be a good place to start, then uncheck 
those you later don't want to hide)

The file list is not inaccessible. The location is documented on the 
Wiki. (and in threads here on the list)

Regards,
Adrien
