01:01:34 <chris> CDB-Man: still considering column substotals. not too easy because they're not being tallied on the fly.
01:02:30 <chris> jralls: here's an idea for saving per-book reports. wdyt of saving, within the report definition in saved-reports, a field with "book-root-account" so that they're filtered appropriately?
01:02:50 <chris> risks: accumulating junk reports which cannot be deleted when the book's gone

07:38:54 <warlord> chris, how hard would it be to serialize the report "save" data and store it in a new section in the book data itself? That would also make it "portable" across different instances of gnucash.

15:07:11 <jralls> warlord, chris just closed PR477 that did that., saying that you'd tried it and "if you open an old datafile you'll get old reports".
15:08:30 <jralls> @tell chris The book filter could be turned off when one wants to clean up saved reports from old books.
15:08:30 <gncbot> jralls: The operation succeeded.
15:16:45 <warlord> When did I try it?
15:17:07 <jralls> Dunno, you'll have to ask chris.
15:20:56 *** fell has quit IRC
15:22:55 <warlord> Maybe /he/ tried it? Obviously, if you have a very old data file, the saved reports might not work if there's been too much change between the version when the data file was written and when it's being opened.

15:37:27 <jralls> He said you did: https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash/pull/477#issuecomment-3790130131. We've changed the serialization only a few times, the last for GC 3.0. We can script an upgrade for that. Harder to script is report and report option mutations over time. Neither depends on where the configs are saved.
15:51:20 <warlord> WEIRD. I honestly don't remember trying it.
