Huh? We already have a report which prints the chart of account in the
"account summary" report. You just need to set the option "display
depth" to "All". What else do you think of?

This report needs to print all the metadata associated with the
account. Account type, code, description, notes, etc. The indentation
should probably be removed so all the column line up throughout the
report. Its basically a printed version of the main account window
with all data displayed and all sub-accounts shown.

David has responded; reopening.  David, please feel free to reopen
bugs of yours for which you have provided additional information--bugs
left in the NEEDINFO state tend to be viewed less.

This could be done rather easily (couple hours) with the new
html-acct-table object.  It lets you specify an option to
"flatten" the account tree and lets you place whatever data
you want in the columns which follow.

To whomever decides to take this up: please note that the original
build-acct-table function reports incorrect totals when the
group-types? option is set and a liability account contains an
asset account with non-zero balance.

My priority right now is creating a Trial Balance/Worksheet
report. I'll come back and do this when/if I get a chance....

Created attachment 29983 [details] [review]
rewritten account summary/chart of accounts

Okay, I've finally done it.

This is a rewrite of account-summary.scm to use the gnc:html-acct-table object.


It now includes options to display more account metadata (Bug #95551)
and properly handles mixed asset/liability subaccounts (Bug #124367).

The biggest drawback to this patch is probably the fact that it
currently does not specify any table style attributes, so using
different stylesheets doesn't change the appearance much...but
that's a relatively minor issue. (I don't think the original
Account Summary used styles much, come to think of it....)

Hi,

Just in case you guys forgot, there's a patch here
awaiting submission to CVS (see above).

Someone forgot to reopen it seems. 

This is now applied to CVS HEAD.  I have not applied it to 1.8 (because a lot of
dependent changes have not been applied), so I am leaving this bug report open
for now.

*** Bug 124367 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Okay, 1.8 is dead -- as this was already in the CVS tree I am now closing it as it was fixed in 1.9.0.
