[GNC] Updating gnucash

[Adrien Monteleone]

David,

I could be mistaken, but I thought that the 'All' function negated the 
need to be viewing the CoA when running it, and that the non-All 
function operates as you describe. (context aware)

Good tip about the task manager. Sometimes the process is so fast, you 
aren't sure if it completed or is stuck. While I think there is feedback 
in the status bar of GnuCash, if it is really quick, you'll never 
notice. Perhaps a dismiss-able confirmation dialog would be more reassuring.

Regards,
Adrien
