04:36:29 <AJMC> warlord: regarding your question about my question the other day... yes, I was asking about how to replace "Thank you for your patronage" with a different default string which would remain through GnuCash upgrades
04:37:17 <AJMC> up til now I've been modifying invoice.scm but it's a bit of a pain having to do it every time I upgrade gnucash

09:29:13 <warlord> AJMC, sorry, there is no way to change the "default" than doing that. Your other option is to build a "custom" invoice (which can just be the invoice report with your changes, saved), and use THAT as your default invoice.
09:29:57 <warlord> ... Or configure it how you want and leave it open -- and when you want to print a new invoice go into the open report, open the options, and select the new to-be-printed invoice.

15:35:54 <jralls> warlord, "
15:36:11 <warlord> ?
15:38:09 <jralls> AJMC "Thank you for your patronage" is the default string in all three Invoice Report Options on the Display tab. Just replace it there, save the config, and you're good.
15:38:41 <jralls> warlord, sorry, hit enter instead of comma.
15:49:11 <warlord> hmm

16:23:04 <AJMC> not sure that posted as I got disconnected... jralls, warlord - thank you both for the replies... What I seem to be stuck on is that I can "Save config", I can't choose that as the default for printing; I can only choose the four standard ones (printable/tax/easy/fancy)
16:24:13 <AJMC> I can't overwrite the standard included "printable" config presumably as that's stored in a non user-writable location
16:28:16 <jralls> Non user writable always depends on the user ;-), but even with that out of the way you'd still have to re-do your changes after every upgrade.
16:30:20 <AJMC> yes, that's been my "problem" over the years
16:30:33 <AJMC> merging back in my changes to invoice.scm
16:31:41 <AJMC> so is there a way to set one of my customised configs as the default printable invoice?
16:32:24 <warlord> Did you see my other suggestion: Keep your configured invoice report open, and when you want to print a new invoice just switch to that tab, open the report options, and select the invoice to print.
16:33:12 <AJMC> ah, I saw it but obviously didn't understand it
16:34:21 <AJMC> I do now, that's certainly a work-around, thanks... it just feels like the contents of that string should maybe be in the preferences somewhere (Business?)
16:35:42 <AJMC> blindly hacking invoice.scm to replace one bit of text with another is within capabilities, sadly implementing my own suggestion is not!
16:36:01 <AJMC> within _my_ capabilities
16:39:29 <jralls> Just looking at the code for the "Report for printing" pref. Oooh that's ugly: A hard coded array of report guids and the list-box value indexes into it.
16:43:06 <jralls> As does the stored pref. If it at least stored the guid you could override it from outside of GnuCash.
