[GNC] Hidden Account Transactions Export

[Felix Yu]

Hello,

I regularly use the Export Transactions to CSV function in GNUCash for financial analyses on other platforms. My standard work flow is as follows:

  1.
Choose Export Settings (Options: Use Quotes - unchecked, Simplified Layout - unchecked; Comma separator)
  2.
Account Selection - Select All accounts; Select All dates

However, I am noticing some strange behaviours around hidden accounts, specifically:

  *
When exporting transactions, hidden accounts are not selectable, but their transactions appear if split with non-hidden acounnts. However, transactions entirely within hidden accounts are not exported at all
  *
I understand that un-hiding accounts resolves the issue, however, that may not be a feasible solution and goes against the purpose of hiding accounts (presumably for clutter management)
  *
Is there a way to work around the issue? Is it possible to add a "Select All, Visible and Hidden" button on the Account Selection page (given the Select All accounts button is more like, Select All Visible accounts as of now)

Thank you!
