Re: [GNC] QIF import error

[davidcousens49]

Adrien,

There is a bit of recent correspondence on the github site with a possible new
project manager interested. I gather the main problem is in getting Ngewi Fet
the original developer to communicate/cooperate/hand over the reins on the
project to allow that to happen.

Re: [GNC] QIF import error

Shaun,

The android GnuCash app is not a part of the GnuCash application which is a 
desktop app. I don't know if it is still being supported by its original 
developer but it AFAIK was a totally separate development in Java. 
The QIF format is defined in the following web pages to the extent it is defined
at all  
https://www.respmech.com/mym2qifw/qif_new.htm#:~:text=A%3A%20The%20Quicken%20interchange%20format,that%20supports%20the%20QIF%20format
 and possible more definitively by W3 
https://www.w3.org/2000/10/swap/pim/qif-doc/QIF-doc.htm or 
http://moneymvps.org/articles/qifspecification.aspx. There is no standardized
format defined by and maintained by any organization.

GnuCash for Android is a separate project.

Last I heard, it isn't even an active one. (no commits since mid-2018)

You can try their GitHub page: https://github.com/codinguser/gnucash-android

Of course. It's in the wiki, and you will find it in the FAQ under
"Backups".

Re: [GNC] How to copy a GnuCash 'installation'?

[Gyle McCollam]

Even if you can copy this to another computer (an exact copy), reports and all, 
you will have to make all your entries on both computers to keep them in sync.  
It would be better to save everything in a location that you can access from 
each computer.  GnuCash will tell you if the file is in use on the other 
computer.


Thank You,

Don't know if it is documented anywhere...

Config files somewhere in $HOME: .gnucashrc or under .local/...  I believe
this is where reports are saved (report params, used to generate the reports).

[GNC] How to copy a GnuCash 'installation'?

[Chris Green]

If one wants to copy a GnuCash 'installation' from one place to
another, in particular from one computer to another what needs to be
copied?  I'm really only interested in copying from one Linux system
to another, both running the same GnuCash version.

Obviously one needs to copy:-

The GnuCash 'data' file, either XML or sql

Any log files (though not strictly necessary I guess)

However there are other files one needs to copy if you want reports
and screen layout and things like that to be the same.  Is this
documented anywhere?

I'm particularly interested in copying reports across as I run GnuCash
on both my desktop machine and my laptop.  Just copying the GnuCash
data file means that I get the same accounts on both systems but not
reports and connected files ('experimental' CSS for reports, that sort
of thing).

Yes, that's a big improvement, it might be worth setting a background
colour too, lots of possibilities.  Thanks again! :-)
