Description Adam Buchbinder 2006-05-02 02:22:26 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
If accounts are deleted, the log replay importer does not reflect this; while
transactions are moved, accounts are unaffected.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Delete an account and its associated transactions.
2. Kill GnuCash.
3. Reopen GnuCash, reopen the file.
4. Replay the log.


Actual results:
The deleted account is still there, though the transactions have been affected.

Expected results:
The log replay should delete the account.

Does this happen every time?
Yes; this is repeatable.

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 deleted.

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