Description C.J. Collier 2009-04-29 02:30:07 UTC 
related to bug #507209

My Gnu Cash Experience


1. I selected the “create a new set of accounts” button and hit “ok”

2, A page came up that said <no file> at the top.

This was confusing

3. I switched screens and found that a page that said “New Account Heirarchy
Setup”

4. I hit “forward”

5. I continued to “Setup new accounts”

I did not understand the term “placeholder”

6. I proceeded to enter my beginning balances, which went smoothly

7. I wanted to enter some scheduled transactions. Quickbooks calls them
“memorized transactions” so I would have appreciated some cross-reference
to “memorized transactions”

8. Understanding the “help” instructions for “scheduled transactions”
was challenging with incorrect grammar and spelling. The instructions need to
be written in a manner that is easier to understand.

I had the same experience with steps 1-3 here. The new account wizard pops up, then the "no file" GnuCash window pops up, occluding the wizard window. Could the windows simply be opened in the reverse order?

Is this still an issue?  The docs have seen a great many edits since this bug was reported.

Steven N. Severinghaus.  This bug concerns the documentation not the window opening order.

I'll let it lay.  My mom reported this to me.  And she's not talking to me at present, so let's leave it until either she or someone else who is worried about this more than me comes along.

I also mentioned GnuCash to someone today.  Funny how these things work.
