Re: [GNC] Accidentally Created .LNK file and now my entire GnuCash file is overwritten and I can't get back to work
David, Michael, Yes to both of you, but see the other thread on this. Mac's give you modified, created and last opened in the finder window. That can help troubleshooting. That's also why older unix systems used some version of .lck .lnk files and core dumps; all three can be diagnostic. And Colin takes a different tack on this. I like the philosophical question here. Signifigance often assigns itself well after events, or perhaps it is post attributive. I like the 4 category approach: "known knowns, known unknowns, unknown knowns, and unknown unknowns".

Re: [GNC] Accounting for Refund
I do have a f/u question. When I create a credit note, the program only allows me to account for it as income and it appears as a positive number in my accounts receivable. How can I account for this transaction so that gnu cash recognizes this transaction should be a debit against previously income? Kind regards, Eric W. Rathhaus Law Office of Eric W.

Re: [GNC] gnucash: Not able to get Online Quotes to work
Those both show catastrophic failure of GnuCash to even start, so there’s something wrong with the way you’re trying to start GnuCash from the command line. There may be a clue there: You can run gnc-fq-dump but not GnuCash, so GnuCash when launched the usual way must be getting a different environment, one that doesn’t get the same perl includes that your command-line one does.

It’s failing to load because of the deleted date-posted element. It shouldn’t be deleted, 0 is now a perfectly valid date since 2.6.0.

Re: [GNC] Fedora => Debian 3.2 => 2.1.15 Data Conversion Issues
Hello Adrien, Thanks for your help. I forgot flatpak at all. As flatpak means (almost) no influence on the other packages, I try this first. I installed it already, found that all my needed features work (including banking data exchange). The only issue I see, is that gnucash came up in an US american locale. I have changed all settings to EUR, but found no way to enable the German translations. I have to do half of my work in English, so this is not a big issue, as long as there is no issue with the reports... I need to check further. Thank you!

Update! The problem is restricted to a malfunction with the date format in the 2.6.16 version. Specifically, the program will allow the user to proceed with import in the default format /MM/DD despite the CSV transaction dates being formatted as MM/DD/. This is what causes the program to crash. In the new stable version 3.3 the importer provides user feedback to correct the date and does not allow the import to proceed until fixed. -- Sent from: http://gnucash.1415818.n4.nabble.com/GnuCash-User-f1415819.html ___ 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.

[GNC] Inaccurate balance on credit card account
Hello, Having just reconciled my credit card account, I see that I have a fairly wildly inaccurate balance shown. The actual balance of entries should be $204.81 but shows to be $1075.45. That's off by $870.64. I'm not sure how long this has been going on, but I don't remember a discrepancy like that in the past. I'm not asking what happened, but rather what do I need to do to correct this? I'm using version 2.6.18. I have 3.3-1 but have not updated since I want to make sure everything is lined up correctly first.

[GNC] Accounting for Refund
Hello - I need to refund a client for pre-paid expenses I didn’t end up incurring. I could just cut a check and account for it as an expense. But as these payments came from multiple invoices and jobs, I would like to have some method for creating a note to identify the various expense payments I’m refunding. Credit notes only exist for employees. Would I go back to each invoice and revise the payments to account for refund from each invoice and send updated invoice along with the check? Thanks.

Re: [GNC] Accidentally Created .LNK file and now my entire GnuCash file is overwritten and I can't get back to work
On 11/4/2018 9:10 PM, David T. via gnucash-user wrote: As others explained, the lck and lnk files are created by gnucash to prevent users accidentally opening the data file on multiple machines. They are zero bytes in size and there is no point in trying to open them up. There is no there there. Sometimes it can help people remember if they are told why. Why a file with no data? The lock file isn't intended to be OPENED. Only its EXISTENCE is being tested. That's what it is there for. If it exists, then some instance of the program has the corresponding data file open. When gnucash is about to open a data file, it creates a corresponding lock file, and when it closes that data file, it deletes the lock file. The existence of a lock file (for some data file) means that an instance of the program "owns" that data file, and no other instance of the program can touch it. Why this way? Because a program can check for the existence of a file even if not allowed to open that file. Of course if the program (or the system) crashes before the program closes a file and deletes the lock a lock file can get left behind.

[GNC] Expenses on Credit Card account do not appear on cash flow report
Hello all, I'm new to this forum, though I've been using GnuCash for several years now. I've learned how to use the Cash Flow report only recently, though. There is something weird happening. I have a Credit Card account, and I expected that all expenses from this appeared on the Cash Flow report as expenses on their respective categories, however instead on the section "Money out of selected accounts goes to" there is a row for the Credit Card with the total amount spent for that period. Any hints on how to solve or debug this? I tried creating a new account from scratch, created a credit card account and in this empty account the cash flow report worked as it should, showing the expenses categories. I'm using version 3.3 on macos.

Re: [GNC] Below are my screen shots in .pdf format/previously they were .png files which did not go thru
From Anita’s screenshots, I believe she has inadvertently selected “View>Show Tab Bar” and can remove that extraneous (because the active Gnucash file already displays in the window title bar) bar by selecting “View>Hide Tab Bar”. I do note that for me, if the “Tab Bar”—which isn’t really a tab bar, just another title bar—is showing, it throws off the clicks clicks in the Accounts list. Double-click on the name of an account and the one that opens is the one immediately below the one you clicked on (just about the distance of the height of the tab bar).

Anita said yesterday that she manually deleted the .LCK in her file manager and then GC was back to normal next time she started it.

You do not need to get rid of it. Open Gnucash and close any warning messages you get. Then, inside Gnucash, use File > Open and double click on the line above the one you have highlighted in the attachment. I presume that double click works on a Mac in the file open dialog. If not then click it and then Open or similar. Note - very important - do it from *inside* gnucash after clearing any popups that appear when you open gnucash. If that does not work come back and tell us *exactly* what happened when you followed these instructions.

Re: [GNC] GNC 3.3 CSV Importer Freezing on MacOS

I'm sorry you had such a poor experience with the CSV importer and I'm glad you were able to recover most of your data (as I read in the remainder of the thread). However none of this helps me in any way to improve the CSV importer. I completely agree it shouldn't crash or make you lose data. But I'll need more details to figure out why it crashed. If you can consistently reproduce it, may I ask you to create a bug report in our Bugzilla instance [1] and supply the details needed for me to reproduce it as well ? Ideally, attach a simple test file and a small csv file that triggers the crash. Or a large csv file if that's what's needed to make it crash. For the record, I can successfully run the csv importer with a csv file containing about 2000 transactions. It's a bit slow, but not out of the ordinary (15 to 20 seconds of delays). So clearly the size of the csv file itself is not the only factor and my test setup is not having what is needed to induce the crash.
