[GNC] withholding tax

[Paul W via gnucash-user]

I invoice my client £100 for services provided. They process my invoice and pay 
me the balance of £80 after deducting 20% (£20) withholding tax which they give 
to foreign government A.
How do I account for this withholding tax in gnucash?

Re: [GNC] Report headings, can one separate the company name from the report name?

[Christopher Lam]

Please be aware that inserting raw HTML into textual fields in datafile or
report options is a wart and will very likely be sanitized in the future.
At best, simple formatting elements e.g. multiline into  tags are
already possible in some report options.

The reason is it's not difficult to craft a data file containing html and
JavaScript and can damage the data file or the underlying file system.

Re: [GNC] clip board paste across catagories

[Adrien Monteleone]

I've attached a screenshot to illustrate the different glyphs in another 
font.


The first part at the top, is a copy/paste directly from your list 
message clearly showing different glyphs for various 'quotation' marks.


The font used is Times New Roman, and the app used is TextEdit.app on 
MacOS 10.15, significantly enlarged for clarity.


(If mailman eats the attachment let me know and I'll use a 3rd party link.)

It is plain to see that the glyphs to the right of the '3' and '6' inch 
measurements are 'right double quotes' and the glyphs to the right of 
the '0.25' and '0.5' feet measurements are the 'left single quote' and 
'right single quote' respectively. (which should at the least be 
consistent, also notice the errant spacing after the 0.25) The vertical 
positioning and curvature of the glyph is determining if it is a 'right' 
or 'left' quote. One can also see that the glyphs to the *left* of the 
'6' and the '0' feet/inch measurements and the *right* of the 'p' in 
"strap" are 'double quotation marks' and thus serve as delimiters of a 
*quoted text field*.


The other glyphs in between those *double quotation marks* are not 
delimiters, thus they don't separate the data in a CSV to another 
field/column. (even the comma contained therein will not, because it 
lies between the quotes)


-

Now, observe the second example in the attachment. You'll see the proper 
'prime' and 'double prime' glyphs for both feet and inches, 
respectively. Not only is the angle of the slant from the top-right to 
bottom-left, but the top-right is thicker. These are properly rendered 
glyphs.


Other font families are not so faithful to these special or extended 
glyphs and can often render them on screen, or even in print (yes, that 
too can differ) in nearly identical fashion to standard ASCII 27/28 
single/double quotation marks.


For many basic cases, one need not be concerned with typographical 
specialties, but in some cases, like this one, not being cognizant of 
those differences, can result in a significant amount of frustration. 
This is a clear case of 'looks close is not good enough', it needs to be 
*correct*. (and while LO Calc did parse the cell divisions properly, the 
actual glyphs representing inches and feet, are still wrong)

Adrien

Re: [GNC] clip board paste across catagories

[Adrien Monteleone]

I could be wrong, but I think the point was missed that if that is an 
export from Calc, and it reads it *back in* correctly, John is wondering 
why you think it wouldn't. That is, Calc exported it that way in the 
first place, so you say, thus Calc should be able to read it back in. 
(admittedly, this is not guaranteed, but one would reasonably expect an 
output format to be also readable as an input format)


I also noticed that there are clearly different 'quoted forms' there.

Specifically, 'inch' dimensions are notated with (right double quotation 
mark, Unicode 201D, or UTF8 E2809D) and 'foot' dimensions are notated 
with (left single quotation mark, Unicode 2018, UTF8 E28098), neither of 
which are clearly 'quotation mark' Unicode 0022, UTF8 22; nor 
'apostrophe' Unicode 0027, UTF8 27, both of which are standard ASCII 
fare from a standard keyboard.


When you import to Calc, you get an option to declare 'quoted strings as 
text' and the delimiter, which by default is, if I recall correctly, 
'quotation mark' or U+0022, UTF8 22.


So it is no surprise that Calc recognized actual different glyphs 
differently.


Perhaps your OS/UI or font choice is presenting them all the same or 
with little typographical distinction, which is why you are amazed Calc 
is getting it 'right'.


But I can clearly see that the 'inch' and 'feet' dimension symbols are 
different than the string delimiters.


Of course, they still aren't the typographically correct glyphs, those 
would be prime and double-prime, for feet and inches respectively, but 
Calc would see either 'correctly' with respect to recognizing them as 
different characters, which they in fact, are.

Adrien

Re: [GNC] GnuCash 4.2 Released

[Adrien Monteleone]

Thanks Bruce!

It seems that the Flatpak update process is working as expected for you.

It might be a day or two till I get time to play, but I'm interested to 
take a look at Mint 19.1 (based on Ubuntu 18.04) and see what happens 
with various Flatpak install methods.


I suspect something else is at play for the affected users, perhaps a 
non-standard Flatpak repo, or some custom preference with regards to 
Flathub updates.


The trick will be to intentionally replicate it so as to determine the 
cause, if this isn't default behavior for Mint.

Adrien

No answers?  It seems such an obvious thing to want to do.

Anyway I've found a bit of a 'hack' that does what I want.  Since the
reports are all HTML then one can add HTML to the strings in options.

I just changed the business name from "This is my business name" to
"This is my business name" and now it appears in a line by itself
at the top of the report.

Re: [GNC] GnuCash 4.2 Released

[Adrien Monteleone]

It seems Gnome Software will now update Flatpaks automatically as of version 
3.30. I suspect if you install from cli, it will not, but this is just a guess. 

see: 
https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item=GNOME-3.30-Auto-Updates-Flatpak

However, I can't find info on if Mint uses it. The version in the Ubuntu 18.04 
repo is 3.28.

Alos, why it grabbed a second Flatpak instead of replacing the original, I do 
not know. (or why it changed the icon) 

Perhaps that is a preference in Update Manager, or maybe a bug.

Adrien

No answers?  It seems such an obvious thing to want to do.

Anyway I've found a bit of a 'hack' that does what I want.  Since the
reports are all HTML then one can add HTML to the strings in options.

I just changed the business name from "This is my business name" to
"This is my business name" and now it appears in a line by itself
at the top of the report.

Sounds like a good case for using UTF8, prime and double-prime, either 
originally when typing, or in substitution while processing. That would 
also be typographically correct.

I'd have to play with the Flatpaks again to see the icon issue I guess.

That makes sense you can have more than one version installed as 
Flatpaks are self-contained. They (unless otherwise modified) can't see 
each other and don't know the other is there. The system package manager 
also doesn't know about them. Technically they are not 'installed' from

No worries Todd.

If you want to use double quotes as data, you will have to escape them.

There are two escape methods gnucash understands: prepend with a backslash 
(\") or put two double-quotes in a row ("")

Re: [GNC] GnuCash 4.2 Released

[Adrien Monteleone]

The app icon should *not* have changed. (as far as I know)

Adrien

David Cousens, thanks

I installed GNU Cash a while ago, perhaps over a year - this was via
Software Manager which still has the same version (3.2 I think, need to
check), this is a new icon altogether, not the usual pile of dollar bills
and coins.

The only updates installed are those from update manager, that said I do now
two versions of GNUCash

Cheers
