Fix #638227 Concept Guide New Account Hierarchy (1.76 KB, patch)
2010-12-29 04:41 UTC, Yawar Amin 		none Details | Review

Description Yawar Amin 2010-12-28 23:13:59 UTC 
Section 7.2 Setting Up Accounts says to create a new account hierarchy, but it doesn't warn you that doing so will create a new GnuCash file to store that account hierarchy. The file you are already using will be closed and the new one opened.

Related to that, the menu command to create a new account hierarchy in GnuCash 2.4 has been changed to File > New > New Account Hierarchy.

Actually, the way to create a new file (and hence a new account hierarchy) used to be File > New > New File
In 2.4 this has been renamed to File > New File

There used to be a menu item File > New > New Accounts Page as well, but this had nothing to do with creating a new account hierarchy. This menu command has been moved to the View menu. It simply opens a new tab/window displaying the current file's account hierarchy. It doesn't add nor removes any Accounts.

It turns out I was mistaken about Actions > New Account Hierarchy.... That is the menu layout in 2.4.0. Marking this as resolved.
