Description Paolo Benvenuto 2003-01-14 18:50:27 UTC 
I have a big amount of transactions (~ 20,000), the file is 13M!

Saving the file requiere about 10 seconds! too much!
Comment 1 Paolo Benvenuto 2003-01-20 18:11:50 UTC 
I think it would be nice to have an automatic incremental autosave
function, with the possibility of undoing at least till the last
manual save.

I suggest this:

for each transaction entered:

- gnucash saves in a temp file every transaction the user enters.

- it permits undoing and redoing each transaction since the beginning
of the session or since the last manual save.

- it merges the new transactions in the main file when a manual save
is performed.

- at launching gnucash, the program could verify the presence of the
temp file, so that if a crash has occured the transactions entered
aren't lost

This way we are going to achieve the following improvements:

- the user is not urged to save every moment for the fear of a crash
and the consecuent data loss

- it is very difficult to lose data

- with many transactions it evites the user to waste 10 seconds each
time a save is performed.

Thank you for your attencion!
