Looks like the paths inside the file *would* be affected, e.g. 
/org/gnucash/window/pages/account-tree/summary/start-choice-absolute

Interesting. What makes this different on MacOS vs Linux ? Where is this 
defined ?

And more interestingly perhaps what are the key paths used inside of that plist 
file ?

Well, all Linux users. The domain is already correct on macOS, 
org.gnucash.Gnucash.plist. Would it change the HKLM\Software registry keys on 
Windows?

[GNC] Import accounts from CSV / new security

[mike823]

Hi everyone,

When doing an "Import accounts from CSV" if the account is "stock" type, it
will require a "security" (or commodity) as parameter. Is there any way to
create the security through import, when it is a new one and it does not
exist?

TIA.

Re: [GNC] Preferences reset

[Geert Janssens]

As the description in the bug is fairly long and technical, I'll repeat the 
workaround steps here:
The migration is actually fairly easy to do manually. It involves these steps:
* if you care about current sandbox settings, move
  $HOME/.var/app/org.gnucash.GnuCash/config/glib-2.0/settings/keyfile
  to some place safe
* run
  dconf dump /org/gnucash/ > \
  $HOME/.var/app/org.gnucash.GnuCash/config/glib-2.0/settings/keyfile
* run
  perl -pi.bkp -e's!^[[]![org/gnucash/!' \
  $HOME/.var/app/org.gnucash.GnuCash/config/glib-2.0/settings/keyfile
The long  commands are split in two lines. You can either copy them as 
presented here (with 
the backslash and newlines included)  or you can put each command on a single 
line, but then 
you have to remove the  backslash character from the command.

Regards,

Geert

Re: [GNC] Preferences reset

[Geert Janssens]

I have looked into this some more and filed bug 
https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?
id=798194[1] with more details.

The proper fix would require changes affecting all users, not only flatpak 
users (changes to 
how we store our preferences in GSettings). That's probably out of proportion 
with the benefit 
we'd have from this.

Luckily there is a workaround that is fairly simple, involving two shell 
commands. They are 
detailed in the bug report.

Regards,

Geert

Sounds good, Jack. Thanks for the revert.

Deva,
I found this in my junk folder and I have no idea why it ended up there and all 
the others GNC emails didn't.

Your suggestion of doing the refresh does in fact update the account totals 
like I wanted.

A belated thanks for the suggestion.

I don't exactly have an answer to your question, but I find that such 
mysterious behaviour goes away sometimes when I do View->Refresh. For instance, 
when I am switching datafiles, sometimes the accounts page shows all totals as 
zero (I am on Ubuntu GNC 3.10). All totals reappear when I do the View->Refresh 
action. Hopefully, this will solve your problem as well.

If this doesn't work, I'm afraid I don't have much else to offer you.

I have an IRA account set up where the parent account is a Bank Account
and under that are a number of Stock and Mutual Funds accounts.
When I update the prices by importing a CSV file the total $ amount for
the parent (IRA Account) account does not always update right away.
Sometimes it take a while and I'm a bit confused on what's going on.

What triggers the account totals to update?
