Re: [GNC] Price Editor
Les, that seems very strange as the price editor should be displaying all the prices that are currently in the data file. Are you using the regular XML data file format or a database format?

[GNC] Price Editor
I have noticed that beginning this week (09/1702018) the price database of my securities has been truncated and only the current week's prices are being displayed. Is this a bug? My system is unchanged (Linux Mint 18.2 and GC 2.6.17).

Re: [GNC] date range on budget report
Nice find! I don’t think you can ditch the last ‘Actual’ from within GnuCash, that will have to be in a spreadsheet. But the column may be useful if you enter future transactions. I know this sounds odd, but it can be helpful, especially with such a report, to show ‘planned’ transactions that will chew up some or all of that future budgeted amount. It would then show (if you include the Diff column) how much is really remaining/discretionary. I haven’t started using future transactions yet, but this version of the report has me thinking of doing so.

Re: [GNC] Help required for debugging gnucash to find Segmentation fault error when saving from mysql to xml
The first thing to try is surely just to run the program under gdb and to let it crash. When it crashes, ask for a backtrace (bt) to see where you are. You can move from stack frame to stack frame (f -- for example, "f 3" to view frame 3). You can request to see the values of variables with the print command (p). For example "p the_date" will show you the value of variable "the_date". I find it helpful to run gdb in emacs (M-x gdb). The reason is that it allows me to see source code automatically rather than having to request gdb to list bits of source code at the commandline. Note that I don't have experience debugging gnucash but I have plenty with gdb.
