I chose to hardcode it to make it a script that can be run without any modification needed by the user. Many users of the kind that use gnucash are not command line savvy. It's challenging enough for them to open a terminal and copy/paste these cryptic commands. If they also have to understand how to change the script before running it, that raises the bar considerably.

Why hardcoding it? I suspect most users dont want such a cluttered home directory. --Fell (talk) 09:44, 25 September 2021 (UTC)

I chose to hardcode it to make it a script that can be run without any modification needed by the user. Many users of the kind that use gnucash are not command line savvy. It's challenging enough for them to open a terminal and copy/paste these cryptic commands. If they also have to understand how to change the script before running it, that raises the bar considerably.

  1. Perhaps you missed the start attribute for the line attribute?
  2. Shouldn't we link the pages from other pages, e.g. GnuCash#Documentation_for_Developers or somewhere below GnuCash#Developing the Application Code?
  3. I can not find src/debug/valgrind/valgrind-*.supp should it be from https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash/tree/stable/common/debug/valgrind?
  4. In more recent pages we moved the category tags to the top of the file.

Thanks for the hints. I adjusted the page accordingly.
