Doug, No problems; I'm just trying to ensure that people realize that the wiki actually has pretty detailed information on this specific issue, rather than going the Google route. I agree that the wiki page on this topic is extremely dense. If I hadn't sworn off contributing to GnuCash's documentation, I'd take a stab at rewriting this to make it easier for average users. Since it's a wiki, you could certainly do so. It is often the newest user who has the clearest and freshest insight into how to be helpful to others. I will note that the instructions apply to all operating systems (my settings.ini is managing reasonably well on Windows 11), but that the instructions are rather Linux-geeky. That contributes to the new user confusion, since the instructions cover so many possibilities. Jerry fixed his problem using my help. My comment on the Wiki documentation is that it is pretty complete, but probably (like much documentation) written by programmers: The info is there, but there needs to be an understanding of how Linux works. I guess Jerry is possibly a recent convert to Linux (Perhaps a M$ W10 refugee!), so is possibly finding difficulties navigating the Linux system. In my opinion, I feel there is a need to give these users a hand until they become competent on Linux. So, I am not criticising, but I would be happy to proof read any documentation changes, if it helps. I am only a user, but happy to offer my help f required. One thing I have found is when one proof reads documentation, one increases knowledge. regards, Doug On Thu, 08 Jan 2026 03:12:39 +0000 "David T. via gnucash-user" <[email protected]> wrote:
