GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 621079
Extend log replay to replay manipulations on all objects, not only transactions
Last modified: 2018-06-29 22:40:40 UTC
The current log replay feature only handles transaction manipulations. There is currently no other information in the log files, so that's to be expected. Bug #621075 requests to extend the logs further to all GnuCash savable objects (like accounts, bills/invoices, vendors/customers, tax tables, ...). If that enhancement request actually gets implemented one day, the replay function should be able to deal with these new objects as well.

Geert, I believe the better way would have been, to mark all the partial aspects bugs as blocker for this [meta]bug - or do you have one simple patch to catch them all?
I retrospect, yes, you may be right. When I created this and the related bug, I figured the issue could only be solved by fixing it completely and then even only if bug #621075 is fixed first. I believed it is an all or nothing kind of solution. But you correctly suggest that the feature would be improved already if account addition and/or deletion were supported (the feature requests of the bugs I marked as duplicate).
I have reopened the two bugs and set them as blockers for this bug and bug #621075.
