allow deletion of the corresponding double entry
If you delete a transaction you should have the option of deleting the corresponding double entry especially as gnu does not support multiple edit/delete.
As i had mistakes in an account and gnu doesn't support multiple edit i though it would better to delete an account and the transactions. But now I have a compunded the issue - all the double entries are now left in multiple places which i can't multiple select and delete - it's one by one (and by mouse not keyboard).
Without multiple edit or delete gnucash is a one way, perfect first time entry on data import.

Sorry, I do not under understand from what you are talking.
In GnuCash you can delete:
single splits,
whole transactions and also
an account including all transactions.

I understand you can delete the above. Let me see if i can describe it more easily.
Trasnaction 1 - In checking account A I have an entry "tax -50" with transfer account has "Expenses: Tax".
So the Expenses: Tax account will show the Double Entry Transaction 1 "50" for the same date.
If I delete Transaction 1 it leaves the Double Entry Transaction 1 in place.
So if you a) have a bank account with several transactions which have all have an assigned transfer account, and then b) delete the bank account transactions it c) leaves the double entry transactions in place which you then have to search for and (individually) delete. Is this clearer?
