Re: [GNC] problem to delete multiple entries
Here is a link to that post: https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user/2021-December/098934.html It does work as expected, so there must be a typo somewhere. Make sure GnuCash is closed first before opening the file and editing. Make sure the semicolon and space is removed at the beginning of the line & add the blow in the second set of quotes. It will read like this: (gtk_accel_path "/GncPluginPageRegisterActions/DeleteTransactionAction" "Delete") On Sun, Aug 28, 2022 at 7:31 AM Sh. Pepper wrote: > >I have gnucash and windows 10.

Re: [GNC] Fixing incorrect Vendor for invoices
At least two of us users have been confused when editing / fixing Vendor or Customer field in Invoices or Bills (and created somewhat of a mess) I would request for the next GnuCash update: All fields in the Invoice's "Invoice Information" & "Billing Information" panels, and in the Bill's "Bill Information" & "Billing Information" panels be locked, and maybe, grayed out. That would force using the "Edit Invoice" or "Edit Bill" features in the top ribbon, which work exactly as users (at least 2 of us) would expect.

Now I have all of that data under one customer and a customer entry now called "Reuse me" for next time I have a new customer. I see Derek said its by design, but it caught me too.

Re: [GNC] Reports: Account ending balances
A Budget Report can do that. Not certain if you need a budget set up, but I don't think so. Include only the 'actual' column(s). I think there is also an experimental multi-period P&L (Income Statement) which is probably more of what you are looking for.

When you are trying to extend the over-simplified formula you need to add terms for income expense and retained income to name a few. I do not know the name of a good reference to help you.

Re: [GNC] GC 3.11 crashes during "Check & Repair"
There's not much point in filing a bug report for a crash in 3.11. Install 4.11 and run check-and-repair on it there. If that crashes then try to get a stack trace (see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Stack_Trace and note that it's *much* easier under Linux than Windows) and file a bug on that. If it doesn't crash then you're probably good-to-go with 4.11.

Re: [GNC] GC 3.11 crashes during "Check & Repair"
If you do not want to upgrade your live env, may I suggest combination of VirtualBox (https://www.virtualbox.org/), Vagrant (https://www.vagrantup.com/) and Vagrant Cloud (https://app.vagrantup.com/boxes/search) to fetch pre-build "boxes"? This combo works on any OS but If you are on Windows systems, you can download another Windows version and work on it for 30 days without needing a license. Discard the Vagrant instance after you are done... Be warned about malware that you have your virus protection regime up to date. While Vagrant boxes are from trust worthy authors, don't lower your malware/virus surveillance guard for anything. -- Message: 2 Date: Sun, 28 Aug 2022 11:27:05 +1000 From: David Cousens To: gnucash-user@gnucash.org Subject: Re: [GNC] GC 3.11 crashes during "Check & Repair" Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Try the following to get more information. https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Logging https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Tracefile https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Windows_Debugging https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Stack_Trace Without more information no-one is going to be able to help much.

Re: [GNC] gnucash-user Digest, Vol 233, Issue 83
This might be the bug that I had hit in 4.8 of GNC which might had been carried forward since 3.11 and prior when performing "Check & Repair" (yah, I was a Quicken User). When I ran into the bug, crash was with "Check & Repairs All" which likely uses same routines under the hood. Bug 798346 is the ID for it which was fixed by John. Best bet is to go in "blindly" and not perform "Check & Repair" until you are past version 4.8 of GNC. -- Message: 1 Date: Sun, 28 Aug 2022 15:10:13 +0200 From: "rsbrux" <> To: Subject: Re: [GNC] GC 3.11 crashes during "Check & Repair" Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Thanks for all the references, particularly for reminding me to check the trace file.

Re: [GNC] GC 3.11 crashes during "Check & Repair"
I'm not an expert, but I'm pretty sure the price db doesn't have splits; it's just a list of commodities, prices, and dates (asking with some other housekeeping info). I believe that "113 of 304" is in reference to the splits within a given account, so you'd need to know which account might have had that number of splits.

Re: [GNC] GC 3.11 crashes during "Check & Repair"
The Check & Repair is to be done after each major version upgrade. Since you're getting a crash, (on more than one data file?) I'd recommend obtaining the output the devs are looking for using the links David sent. (all documented on the Wiki) I don't know if they need just the Windows info, or if obtaining the same on Ubuntu will help too. Then submit a bug report on Bugzilla: bugs.gnucash.org. You'll need to register an account there first of course. Describe the crash and attach the requested files.

Perhaps try a 3.x flatpak? Otherwise, if you haven't yet jumped from 18.04 to 22.04 maybe an interim stop at 20.04 will get you GnuCash 3.x. (Can you even go directly from 18.04 to 22.04? I didn't think it would even give you the option) Be sure to review the Wiki about upgrading. You'll need to run Actions > Check & Repair > Check & Repair All at each upgrade of a major version. Regards, Adrien << Thanks for the tips! I came across the Flatpak possibility, but was dissuaded by the apparent complexity of the description at: https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Flatpak David's suggestion: >> Another approach to consider is using the 20.04 (focal) live ISO.

That way you don't have to try to install different versions on either 18.04 or 22.04. << sounded easier since I had already made a boot disk for Ubuntu Studio 20.04 LTS. Unfortunately, that didn't work. I was able to boot from the live DVD and install GC 3.8. However, when I tried to run Check & Repair All, following your suggestion, it never finished. Check & Repair gives no indication of its progress in either 2.16.9 or in 3.8. The menu bar and toolbar flash occasionally while Check & Repair is running, but the only indication that it isn't done is that the menu cannot be operated and there is no indication of it having finished. In the live Ubuntu Studio 20.04 environment, the GUI would become unresponsive if inactive for as little as 15 minutes, even after I disabled all suspend, screen lock and screen saver features, making it difficult to just let Check & Repair run as long as necessary. After that the DVD would start working overtime. I have had a similar problem with the GUI becoming unresponsive in my f
