Re: [GNC] GnuCash 3.2 Japanese Keyboard
Hi, I have exactly the same problem now. I've made no changes to my system or gnucash and prior it worked fine, but suddenly it only shows Kanas and ignores all IME settings. I then updated to Gnucash 3.4 but no change. Prior I was on 3.1 and it worked until today. Is there a solution for this? As a sidenote, I had the same problem for Geany and never found a fix. I would only do it intermittendly. Using Pycharm now and no more problems. I'm afraid no such alternative for Gnucash exists, so would love to know a solution.] thanks, thomas -- 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.

Re: [GNC] Reconciliation Report -- Can't find transactions
The "Reconciliation Report" was modified to search via Reconciliation Date as per following bug. https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=796614 I think the date filter is irrelevant in the reconciliation report. Perhaps it should be removed altogether; and should by default show *all* unreconciled & cleared (i.e. exclude reconciled) transactions? C On 13/1/19 1:44 am, Adrien Monteleone wrote: I just discovered the same thing myself yesterday. (I never use the report) I can’t imagine what utility that has. I also think it is a bug since the primary sort order was ‘date’ and there was an option to choose ‘reconciled date’ instead, but the general tab date range only operates on reconciled date. This is quite strange. I certainly didn’t expect that behavior. If one edits a transaction that is reasonably far back in history (say for some minor spelling error, or a refactoring of expense accounts) which then gets the reconcile flag unset and you have to re-reconcile to reset it, now that old transaction is going to show up on your current reconciliation report. I had to re-reconcile some periods from 2016 not long ago for this very reason. When I ran the report yesterday to see reconciled transactions from 2018, I had old transactions mixed in. It seems it is impossible to get a report (without resorting to a spreadsheet workflow) that shows me what I wanted to see. (yes, I can run a filter on the register and then run a register report - I’m talking about using *this* report) Is that intended? With no way out?

It's good to see that the formatting issue is being addressed and my suggestion is as follows... - Italicise all quoted text from previous contributors. - Delete any previously posted text that is irrelevant or duplicated. - Compose all fresh comments with normal text. - Start with an introductory comment at the top (if required).

Re: [GNC] Copy a month's budget
I’ve said it before: I dislike bottom posting because I have to scroll through everything that has been written on the thread just to get to the single pithy comment that is new. This is especially annoying when attempting to read email on a small screen. I will admit that I prefer bottom posting if I am trying to take in a full thread at the tail end. However, that only rarely occurs, since I prefer to use my email program’s sorting abilities to present to me the pieces in order. WRT to Stephen’s comment, I’ll note that as technology changes, so too do modes of processing information. For example, there is growing evidence that hypertext document formats fundamentally change how the human brain processes information, making it more difficult for individuals to focus on single subjects for long periods of time. And imagine how different your writing process has changed with the advent of digital technologies, as opposed to when you had to write everything down on paper before you sat down at a manual typewriter to create the final copy to turn in. My point is that “Because that’s how we always did it” isn’t necessarily reason to continue following a protocol.

Re: [GNC] Import a transaction from a CSV file with both the debit and credit account set
Hello, Yes, deselecting "Multi-split" allowed what I wanted. Thanks very much for your help. I think that one of the things that confused me before you helped is that until I select and deselect one of the boxes (for example, "multi-split", or one of the other option boxes shown), it doesn't seem to allow me to set the column fields. I think when I had observed this before, I thought this had meant that not selecting any of these boxes was an invalid mode, so I had selected "multi-split", which then allowed me to categorize the columns. I see now that if I select a box, and then deselect it, it allows me to proceed with column categorization and gives me the "transfer account" option, as you mentioned. I did not see the "transfer amount" option you mentioned, but I used "withdrawal", and that seemed to work.

Re: [GNC] Different jobs for vendor or customer?
Thanks Adrien and David, I appreciate the response.

If that checkbox is *not* checked, there should be some additional column types like "Transfer Account" and "Transfer Amount" But perhaps it's more useful if you post a sample of your csv data (you can anonymize it of course). That will make it easier to help you set the proper values.

Re: [GNC] Reconciliation Report -- Can't find transactions
I just discovered the same thing myself yesterday. (I never use the report) I can’t imagine what utility that has. I also think it is a bug since the primary sort order was ‘date’ and there was an option to choose ‘reconciled date’ instead, but the general tab date range only operates on reconciled date. This is quite strange. I certainly didn’t expect that behavior. If one edits a transaction that is reasonably far back in history (say for some minor spelling error, or a refactoring of expense accounts) which then gets the reconcile flag unset and you have to re-reconcile to reset it, now that old transaction is going to show up on your current reconciliation report. I had to re-reconcile some periods from 2016 not long ago for this very reason. When I ran the report yesterday to see reconciled transactions from 2018, I had old transactions mixed in. It seems it is impossible to get a report (without resorting to a spreadsheet workflow) that shows me what I wanted to see. (yes, I can run a filter on the register and then run a register report - I’m talking about using *this* report) Is that intended? With no way out?

Re: [GNC] Import a transaction from a CSV file with both the debit and credit account set
Thank you for the advice. I am using version 3.3. When I am using the import wizard and specifying the contents of each column in the CSV file, I see "Date", "Description", "Withdrawal" (amount), and "Account". But I don't see a way to specify the other account. (I tried specifying a second "Account" column, but when I do this, it deselects the previously selected "Account" column.)

Re: [GNC] Import QIF error (from Android to Windows)
Hi David, thanks for response. I am using Windows 7 Pro x64 on my computer and always the newest GNU Cash for Android. There is no problem with import QIF file from Android to 2.19 Windows version or older. Problem with import occured when GNU Cash was publish in 3.1 version. So, I think the problem od in desktop version, not mobile, because general QIF file is OK.
