[GNC] Corrupt security information

[Bruno Acklin]

Best wishes for 2020!

I am struggling with a stock account, where I am unable to enter any valid 
transactions, and suspect the security information may be corrupted:

Whenever I enter a trade from the account (declared as stock for an existing 
security INTC) and press return, Gnucash completes a transaction (cf 
attachment), which looks ok, except there is no shares traded and there is no 
way to enter any quantity on the trading account. Gnucash insists on balancing 
the transaction, after which there is a huge number in the trading/share 
account, but still no quantity of shares traded, and no way to complete the 
transaction, other than closing the account tab.

I checked the security and my price information which looks ok and updates w/ 
finance::quote. If I have to recreate the account and reenter all transactions, 
I’d like to save the historic price information, but don’t know of a way to 
export it.

Thanks for any suggestions,
Bruno

Re: [GNC] Chaning left sidebar spacing

[D via gnucash-user]

Adrien,

I'm intrigued. You have given the relevant css nodes simply as "tab" off 
"tabs". The earlier thread that I cited had the nodes as "notebook tab" and 
"notebook tabs". Has the css been changed, are these different elements, or 
does the difference not matter, I wonder?

Bill,

Sorry this took some time, but I finally got a chance to fire up the GTK 
Inspector.

The CSS nodes you’re looking for are called ’tabs’ (for the whole tab 
bar/column) and ’tab’ for each individual tab.

You can modify both padding and margin separately. Margin will affect the 
spacing between the tabs, padding will affect the spacing from the text to the 
outline of the tab.

You can also adjust left, right, top & bottom independently, or set them all to 
the same value.

For example, consider the following CSS declaration:

tabs, tab {

  margin: 0px;
  padding: 0px;

}

This will pack everything about as tight as you can get it. (save for changing 
the font size) This gets me a tab height equal to about 1 register row with a 
12px Apple system font.

The individual adjustments would be:

margin-top
margin-bottom
margin-left
margin-right

padding-top
padding-bottom
padding-left
padding-right

You can specify pixels (px) or ems (em), the latter being proportional to the 
font used. Other CSS units for these might work, but GTK hasn’t fully 
implemented ‘web’ CSS, so they might not. (such as ‘ex’, ‘pt’, ‘vw’, ‘vh’ and 
‘%’)



If you want to shrink the tabs & tab column even further you can play with the 
tab images and close buttons.

The following will hide the tab image off the left edge of the screen:

tab image {

  margin-left: -50px;

}

This next one will make the close button invisible (but still reserve space for 
it):

tab button {

  opacity: 0;

}

Finally, you can tighten things up to remove the reserved space that the images 
& buttons were using:

tab label {

  margin-left: -15px;
  margin-right: -35px;

}

Note that doing so will remove your ability to see at a glance, by the icon, 
what kind of tab it is. (report, account, etc.)

You’ll also lose your close button, but can either use the ‘close’ toolbar 
button or the ⌘W keyboard shortcut to close a tab instead.

Finally, also notice when you hide the tab images that your ‘Accounts’ tab 
label will not be centered. I haven’t found a way around this since GTK doesn’t 
seem to implement the ':first-child’ selector which would be used to target the 
label on that first tab only. (it needs a different left negative margin 
because it doesn’t have an image)

Hope that helps, let me know if you are still having trouble.

Note, you might have to restart GnuCash after making changes to your 
gtk-3.0.css file to see the difference.

Regards,
Adrien

Re: [GNC] Tracking Currency Investments

[David Cousens]

I don't have any experience with share sales in foreign currencies but i have
a little with foreign currency transactions themselves. 

One issue may be that the view presented in the Table is as if from the
register for the USD account. AFAIK in that register display, any amounts
from account in other currencies will normally appear as USD amounts
converted from the other currency amounts using the appropriate exchange
rate/price. There will be two prices involved, the share price at sale in
the foreign currency and the exchange rate between the foreign currency and
USD as well as the fee charged for the currency conversion.

There is one error in the documentation in the previous section on the
accounts as when tracking capital gains/losses you will need both

Assets:Investments:Currency:Bank (USD)
Assets:Investments:Currency:XXX (XXX)

and not just the Assets:Investments:Currency:Bank (USD) as listed in the
documentation as well as the additional accounts for the capital gains/loss
recording.  It would have been a bit more instructive to have shown in the
documentation the same transaction from one of the XXX currency account
registers (in which all the amounts will be in currency XXX and the price
for conversion to USD normally appears in the price column.

Don't know if this is enough to sort it out until someone with foreign
currency share transaction experience can reply.

I'm also seeing only 6.5 tabs in 14 register lines with Windows 10 and GC
version 3.5, whereas the tabs in version 2.6.21 were significantly smaller
and more convenient to use.

I've looked at the possibility of editing the css settings as described in
the GTK3 wiki page but don't appear to have the relevant files on my
computer (the css folder is empty).

Re: [GNC] Mouse

[David Cousens]

I have just tested this in Linux Mint with GnuCash 3.8 and it works fine. The
button functions reverse as expected when the mouse preferences are changed
for the logged in user, so it looks like it is a Windows specific problem.
It may be something specific to do with the implementation of the GTK+
library on Windows in the way it receives events from windows on the
display. If that bypasses the system /and or user's mouse preferences, which
it shouldn't, it would ignore the mouse button reversal. If you have other
programs which are based on GTK+ V3 check to see if they have the same
behavior and perhaps see if there are any updates available for the GTK+ V3
libraries on Windows. 

One of the developers who works on the Windows version may be able to offer
more specific advice.

I have my mouse set for left handed use, i.e. the left and right clicks

Re: [GNC] Import failing - cannot get debug file

[Bennie Gibson]

David - thanks for your input.  Regarding chunking the imports, that's 
exactly what I'm doing and am making some progress.  My primary struggle 
right now  is that GNUCash doesn't appear to be creating a debug file.  
I understand c:\ is a bad location for a user file but I wanted a 
location with minimum folders involved to ensure I was looking in the 
right place.


Any suggestions on why the below commands are not creating a debug file 
appreciated:


gnucash.exe --debug --tofile="c:\gnucash.log"

gnucash.exe --debug

as I understand the last command line should create a default tracefile 
but I don't see it either.


Thanks

Second, hopefully you have put your data file in a folder under your

Third, if you have read other user suggestions about importing from 
Quicken, start with tiny chunks of transactions to see how it goes.


Fourth, in some cases it is easier to edit transactions in Quicken 
before exporting.


Fifth, consider only importing a short segment of recent history and 
leave old history in Quicken.


Sixth, back up everything first and test with disposable copies of files.

Seventh,  if you still have specific questions, ask here giving all

I am trying to move from quicken to gnucash and have had mixed
results
with importing qif files from quicklen.  I've been able to isolate a
couple of causes of import failures by trial and error exclusion of
specific items but it appears I have several failures to deal with
and
no messages to indicate the cause.  I tried starting gnucash with
--debug --logto="c:\gnucash.log"    it appears gnucash is recognizing
the debug command as it takes longer to start but I'm not seeing
any log
or trace file created. I've also tried leaving out the logto
command and
letting gnucash create a default file but cannot locate that either.
I've looked in AppData\Local\Temp and found no new files.

Any suggestions appreciated.  I feel like I'm close but with several
years of data, I need something to assist me me excluding the items
causing import failure.

Thank you

Dear David,

Thank you so much for a great, simple answer! I found that whereas 
before (for whatever reason) all my gnucash files were just sitting 
(all laid out) in my Documents directory they were now all grouped in 
a Gnucash directory. When I opened that directory I found them all 
there and went immediately to the .gnucash file. I then 
copied this Gnucash directory over to my netbook. When I opened 
.gnucash file with Gnucash in the netbook everything all came together 
and, voila, everything is there - reports and all. This took me all of 
five minutes!


Thank you so much!

How good it is to be able to ask questions of knowledgeable folk and 
they come back to you so quickly. How amazing is the Linux and Gnucash 
community!


Wishing you God's richest blessing in 2020,

The .gnucash directory only contains user meta data about your 
preferences

in using GnuCash and any stored reports etc. The section in the Books
subdirectory  is again only meta data and not the actual data file. The
actual data file will be somewhere else in your home directory where you
saved it when you first opend GnuCash on the first computer. If you 
created

a subdirectory for your gnucash datafile (recommended practice) that
subdirectory can have any name you give it but it will contain files 
of the

following formats:
.gnucash;
.log;
.gnucash;

There should be only one .gnucash file but there may be 
several of

the
.log;
.gnucash;
files with different values of the timestamp. These are log files and 
backup
files respectively created each time the program is opened. The 
timestamps
have a "mmddhhmmss" format. You may also see files with a .LNK 
and .LCK
extension which are used to prevent the file being opened by more 
than one

user or more than one instance of the program accidentally.
If you can open the data file in GnuCash the .gnucash 
should be

displayed in the title bar. You can then search your home directory for
.gnucash to locate where it is stored in Nemo.

It is the contents of this directory that need to be copied to a new
machine. I use my accounts with several different users on two Linux 
Mint

computers and one Windows 10 box by storing them in a Dropbox accessible
from each account on each computer.

If you use customized reports and you want to migrate them or make them
available on more than one machine you should also copy the hidden 
.gnucash
directory if you are using a GnuCash version earlier than I think 
2.6.19. In

a few late 2.6 and 2.7 versions and in all 3.x versions the metadata is
stored under $HOME/.local/share/gnucash  as explained in the wiki
https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Configuration_Locations

Another alternative to using dropbox is to use a file synchronization
program like Unison which is available for Linux, Windows and Macs to
synchronize your data and configs on several machines. This however can
cause confusion as to which computer has the most up to date files on it
which is why I use the Dropbox for the datafile and only sync my user
preferences with Unison.

Re: [GNC] Chaning left sidebar spacing

[David Carlson via gnucash-user]

Generally, to make register defaults per account stick, you need to close
the GnuCash program, just saving the file will not save register settings.
I do not know if that also applies to the date column.  It may not.

Re: [GNC] Chaning left sidebar spacing

[Adrien Monteleone]

That is something entirely different.

There are threads about this issue, though I’m not sure what the situation 
currently is on Win10. There might also be a bug filed on it already. As far as 
I am aware, the registers *should* remember your column width settings.

If not, a temporary work around is:

1 - don’t shut down GnuCash
2 - don’t close the registers you are interested in before shutting down. (they 
will be re-opened on the next start, and *might* retain your custom width)

Otherwise, it is likely something the devs will have to fix. You can’t adjust 
this with a custom CSS file. (that I am aware of, others may have found out how)

Adrien

Latest GC on Win 10. I resize the left column (date) to a wider width. When

[GNC] Tracking Currency Investments

[Bo Byrd via gnucash-user]

Trying to figure out sect 12.5 of the docs:
https://www.gnucash.org/docs/v3/C/gnucash-guide/currency_invest1.html

But for the life of me I cannot get things to balance correctly for the sell 
journal entry.  The purchase entry is quite straightforward, but for the sell 
entry as described by 12.5.2 I just cannot figure it out as the accounts and 
units (units of USD versus XXX) dont quite make sense as the capital gains seem 
to be denominated by the XXX currency.  As well, the "Sold Amount" value seems 
to be used in both an USD account and an XXX account which also doesnt make 
sense.

Does anyone have any good examples/screenshot of a pair of journal entries for 
a currency buy/sell set that includes how to handle the capital gains?

[GNC] Difficulty in migrating Gnucash to second computer

[Nic Deane]

I am running Gnucash on my desktop computer but when I try to migrate my 
files to my little netbook I can't seem to do it.


I used to do it easily by going to Documents and then copying all the 
gnucash files across. However, under Version: 3.8 Build ID: 
3.8b+(2019-12-29) I don't seem to see any of the familiar gnucash files 
in my Documents folder.


There is an .gnucash hidden file containing 8 items, totalling 45.4 kB  
but not all the files I am used to seeing. The Books folder contains my 
two items 2017 onwards.gnucash.gcm (7.5kb) and Retirement Home 
Accounts.gnucash.gcm (2.5kB).  But, when I try to migrate this directory 
to my netbook all I get is


*'No suitable backend was found for /media/nic/USB 
STICK/.gnucash/books/2017 onwards.gnucash.gcm'*


My desktop is an ACEPC AK2 mini computer running Linux Mint 19.3,  
Cinnamon 4.4.6, Linux kernel 5.0.0-37-generic,  Intel© Celeron© CPU 
J3455 @ 1.50GHz × 4, 7.6 GiB memory.


My netbook is a Samsung NC 110 running Linux Mint 19.3 MATE 1.22.2, 
Intel Atom N2800 @ 1.86 GHz x 4 with 1.9 GiB memory.


Migrating used to be a doddle before but I'm stumped now!

Can you help me?

Many thanks, in advance,

Nic Deane

Re: [GNC] Chaning left sidebar spacing

[Adrien Monteleone]

Sorry, I sent that a bit too fast.

Rather than moving the tab image off the left hand of the screen you could make 
it invisible like with the button:

tab image {

  opacity: 0;

}

then your final label adjustment would look like this:

tab label {

  margin-left: -35px;
  margin-right: -35px;

}

This still doesn’t solve the uncentered “Accounts" label though.

You can of course combine rules like so:

tab image, tab button {

  opacity: 0;

}

Adrien

Re: [GNC] Chaning left sidebar spacing

[Adrien Monteleone]

Bill,

Sorry this took some time, but I finally got a chance to fire up the GTK 
Inspector.

The CSS nodes you’re looking for are called ’tabs’ (for the whole tab 
bar/column) and ’tab’ for each individual tab.

You can modify both padding and margin separately. Margin will affect the 
spacing between the tabs, padding will affect the spacing from the text to the 
outline of the tab.

You can also adjust left, right, top & bottom independently, or set them all to 
the same value.

For example, consider the following CSS declaration:

tabs, tab {

  margin: 0px;
  padding: 0px;

}

This will pack everything about as tight as you can get it. (save for changing 
the font size) This gets me a tab height equal to about 1 register row with a 
12px Apple system font.

The individual adjustments would be:

margin-top
margin-bottom
margin-left
margin-right

padding-top
padding-bottom
padding-left
padding-right

You can specify pixels (px) or ems (em), the latter being proportional to the 
font used. Other CSS units for these might work, but GTK hasn’t fully 
implemented ‘web’ CSS, so they might not. (such as ‘ex’, ‘pt’, ‘vw’, ‘vh’ and 
‘%’)



If you want to shrink the tabs & tab column even further you can play with the 
tab images and close buttons.

The following will hide the tab image off the left edge of the screen:

tab image {

  margin-left: -50px;

}

This next one will make the close button invisible (but still reserve space for 
it):

tab button {

  opacity: 0;

}

Finally, you can tighten things up to remove the reserved space that the images 
& buttons were using:

tab label {

  margin-left: -15px;
  margin-right: -35px;

}

Note that doing so will remove your ability to see at a glance, by the icon, 
what kind of tab it is. (report, account, etc.)

You’ll also lose your close button, but can either use the ‘close’ toolbar 
button or the ⌘W keyboard shortcut to close a tab instead.

Finally, also notice when you hide the tab images that your ‘Accounts’ tab 
label will not be centered. I haven’t found a way around this since GTK doesn’t 
seem to implement the ':first-child’ selector which would be used to target the 
label on that first tab only. (it needs a different left negative margin 
because it doesn’t have an image)

Hope that helps, let me know if you are still having trouble.

Note, you might have to restart GnuCash after making changes to your 
gtk-3.0.css file to see the difference.

Regards,
Adrien

Re: [GNC] v3.8 AQBanking in the US

[Derek Robinson via gnucash-user]

 All - the development you're talking about is beyond me, but I'm happy to help 
with testing or anything else that needs an extra set of hands. A couple of 
things.
- I assume you're in touch with Martin Preuss already, but if not, the README 
for aqbanking 6 points out a list of changes that consuming applications must 
consider. It's at https://github.com/aqbanking/aqbanking/blob/master/README. 
See section 11.
- The non-editable user problem that John Ralls noted seems to be because the 
backend type gets set to HBCI even when you set it to ofxconnect. This can be 
fixed by modifying aqbanking\settings6\users\.conf (change backendName to 
aqofxconnect).
- At least for my bank (USAA) account retrieval only works if there is at least 
one "dummy" account in the list of online accounts.
- I have user setup, account retrieval, and balance retrieval working. 
Transactions are retrieved and visible in the OFX log but don't show up in the 
GC transaction matcher. If there is a piece of GC code that returns a single 
transaction with date=0, amount=0 and description="Unspecified" when a crawl 
through the retrieved transactions returns nothing, that's a good place to 
start.
All best and let me know how I can help!

No. OFX Direct Connect is a way of connecting GnuCash directly to the bank and 
retrieving the account, balance, and transaction data directly into GnuCash. 

In addition to a working AQBanking it requires that your bank provide the 
service and that it reveals enough information that you can configure AQBanking 
to connect to it.

John Ralls

I have volunteered to help Martin as best I can.

I’m retired, getting old and not in the best of health but hopefully can be of 
some assistance. I’ve been working with Linux in one flavor or another for over 
25 years and would like to give back to the community in some way. If anyone 
else can also help I’m sure it would be appreciated.

Re: [GNC] Default Invoice Config

[Axel Essbaum]

When I do Edit > Style Sheets and then select Head or Tail and click Edit I get 
HTML Style Sheet Properties.  There I have 5 panes where I can choose Colors, 
Fonts, General, Image, and Tables.  Where do I put in custom CSS?  I want to 
change some properties that are not listed on any of these panes.

I see what you mean about the config now.  So the procedure is create the 
config, save it, then for each invoice: open config, search for invoice, select 
invoice.  Tedious but at least it works.

Re: [GNC] Default Invoice Config

[Adrien Monteleone]

The first part of my previous reply sends you to Edit > Style Sheets

There is a custom CSS entry there. That is where you put your own CSS.

I’m not sure how the saved config worked for you before, but I think you have 
to bring up the saved config first, then open the options and choose an 
invoice. That’s the only way I know of to use saved report configs. It isn’t 
something unique to invoices.

I seem to recall a thread on this a year or so ago. It isn’t ideal, since the 
workflow is backwards, but it should work.

Adrien

Re: [GNC] Chaning left sidebar spacing

[William Marshall via gnucash-user]

No.  I can’t seem to find a way to make a change in ~/Library/Application 
Support/Gnucash/config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css that impacts the sidebar.  I did find in 
the discussion and in other places how to set the padding around the menubar 
icons and text, and I see discussion in various places about changing the 
sidebar, but none of the changes I attempt have any impact.

I really appreciate you taking the time to respond.

Bill

[GNC] Import failing - cannot get debug file

[Bennie Gibson]

Hi All,

I am trying to move from quicken to gnucash and have had mixed results 
with importing qif files from quicklen.  I've been able to isolate a 
couple of causes of import failures by trial and error exclusion of 
specific items but it appears I have several failures to deal with and 
no messages to indicate the cause.  I tried starting gnucash with 
--debug --logto="c:\gnucash.log"    it appears gnucash is recognizing 
the debug command as it takes longer to start but I'm not seeing any log 
or trace file created. I've also tried leaving out the logto command and 
letting gnucash create a default file but cannot locate that either.   
I've looked in AppData\Local\Temp and found no new files.


Any suggestions appreciated.  I feel like I'm close but with several 
years of data, I need something to assist me me excluding the items 
causing import failure.


Thank you

Re: [GNC] Default Invoice Config

[Axel Essbaum via gnucash-user]

Hi Adrien,

Blanking the invoice selection in General just gives me a blank page instead of 
the old Invoice #001.

And I ask again, where in a style sheet can I add my own CSS?  There is a way 
to do this in a configuration, but a configuration apparently now only applies 
to a single invoice (can't be re-applied to other invoices).

Thanks,

- Axel
