I just updated my MS Windows GnuCash version to 4.10 and see the new option to save my GnuCash xml file in SQLite format. In general, I like it!
However, I had a few moments of panic when Windows wanted to save the file without a name change. I also forgot the changes in the SQLite file are done without notice. (When I first started withGnuCash on Windows, I was able to unzip the xml file and save it unzipped as "myGnuCash.gnucash" successfully so I get version control over a text file for readable diffs.) 1. Is there any way to get GnuCash to save its file, by default, with an appropriate suffix other than "gnucash?" 2. Is there any hope of some kind of "commit" button to use with the SQLite version? 3. I assume the binary SQLite file is usable with a binary copy from Windows, is that true? 4. Is there any Perl program on Windows to convert the xml file to SQLite? Is there one on Linux? My immediate goal is to continue using my xml fille on Windows as the master data source until I'm comfortable with the SQLite version. During that time, I will periodically produce an SQLite version as a read-only one to experiment with on Linux. I would love to do that automatically. I have briefly looked at the (ugh) Python support and may go down that route, but not until I've looked at compiling from github on Linux and looked at what's available. Thanks for any help or suggestions. -Tom _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
