This change was inspired by mildred's #PR1247 and uses the new
GncReportCombo to allow selection of 'Saved Invoice reports' when the
invoice print button is used or when printing multiple invoices.
This change presents a dialog with the default for the report combo set
to the properties setting. This dialog has a timeout which is
adjustable under properties and will stop if a key is pressed or combo
popped so that a different report template can be selected and used.
There is also an 'OK' button that stops the time out and prints and a
'Cancel' button which cancels the print.
This commit changes the preference in Business->'Report for Printing'
to be saved as a book property and allow the selection of any Invoice
Report to be used as the default.
Not everything from the 6 Book-Currency commits is removed: Switching
the Num and split-action fields and restricting edits of transactions
older than n days were included and those changes are left in place.
Some other partly-implemented features were also part of these commits
and were removed: Options for setting a default capital gains account
and currency, completion of the LIFO cap-gains policy, and creation of
a list of cap-gains policies.
If any of these are to be revived they should each be done in a separate
feature branch and submitted via Github pull request for a code review
before merging; a design discussion on gnucash-devel before restarting
work is also advisable.
With gncTaxTableGetDefault.
qof_book_get_default_tax_table would have been even better but it
would have created a circular dependency between QofBook and
GncTaxTable.
And don't ask to save a not-dirty or empty book, fixing
Bug 794870 - If no book is opened, gnucash still asks if the user wants
to save changes when opening a file
The KVP value for the qof_book_get_num_days_autoreadonly was being
called many times so it makes sense to cache it in the book to avoid
the KVP lookup.
The function qof_book_use_split_action_for_num_field gets called quite a
lot in each register display refresh (due to sorting all splits from
Split.x's xaccSplitOrder function), but it always used to use a KVP
lookup, which is rather expensive compared to accessing a gboolean member
variable.
To get rid of this cost, I had to remove the KVP lookup in this
simple-looking function. The pattern is this: A gboolean cache variable is
introduced, along with an isvalid flag. The lookup makes the expensive
KVP lookup once, then caches the value. The GObject property mechanism
offers a callback for when the setter was called, which is used to mark
the cached value as invalid. A parallel setter method (here:
qof_book_set_option) also just marks the cache as invalid. This covers
all setters, and the getters will use the cached value except for their
first invocation.
The NUM_FIELD_SOURCE feature was introduced in 2012 by the very large
commit 7cdd7372 and apparently its costs never were a problem
until the KVP lookup became more costly due to the std::vector
construction and destruction.
It is split into
- /libgnucash (for the non-gui bits)
- /gnucash (for the gui)
- /common (misc source files used by both)
- /bindings (currently only holds python bindings)
This is the first step in restructuring the code. It will need much
more fine tuning later on.
