Description Thomas Bushnell, BSG 2004-08-19 07:26:04 UTC 
Create a new account.  Enter transactions in the account.  Crash gnucash.
Restart gnucash.  Replay the log from the crashed session.  Notice that
the account you have created does not get recreated, and its transactions
seem to have vanished.

Because this can cause loss of data where users have a good reason to expect
data will not be lost, even in a crash, it is marked critical.

This bug is in the Debian BTS at http://bugs.debian.org/190118.

While this can cause data loss, I do not believe that this is a critical bug...
 The cause of the crash is a critical bug, but the fact that the log replay
doesn't work is not.  So I've lowered the priority and severity.

Reopening. As Frank correctly points out on bug 621079, this bug is not a duplicate, but it details one aspect of the replay log problems.
Solving this bug in itself would improve the replay logs.

Let me add that technically this enhancement request requires changes in two separate components of GnuCash:

1. The engine generates the replay logs. So the engine should be enhanced to write log entries whenever an account is being created.

2. Replaying the logs is implemented in the Import component. So the import component should be enhanced to actually replay account creation log entries.
