Hi Ken, Thanks for the feedback. My request to try with dconf-editor was not meant as a workaround, but rather to determine if values can be changed at all. >From your explanation I still can't infer this exactly, but I readily admit my instructions were very vague. Can you try one more experiment: - Make sure you don't have gnucash running - Start dconf-editor - Change /org/gnucash/general/date-format to 1 (just using your example here, any preference change is fine for this test) - Be sure to click on the apply button that pops up - Quit dconf-editor and start it again - Navigate to /org/gnucash/general/date-format => What is it set to now ?
