Re: 1.3 development proposal

["Trevor J. Christensen" <..hidden..>]

I used to use the COA report constantly as well until I rewrote the GL 
report code/reports to be user friendly, visually friendly, and 
functionally expanded.  As it stood, the GL report was *very* confusing 
and essentially useless to me.  Now ..... it is the most used reporting 
tool that I use, bar none. 

That said, I still use the COA report and it's sub-report features to 
great advantage.  I do see what you are saying and I think it would be a 
great idea to include that functionality in GL reporting.  But, to me, 
it makes sense to have the subject functionality (i.e. list transactions 
against an account for a given time period) in both places.

Short of running LSMB for period of time with that feature disabled 
under COA and enabled in GL to see how it would really affect ease of 
use and productivity, I would favor leaving it in COA .... and to 
include it in GL.

just an opinion
